Filter by:Nowadays, a number of cases with increased intraocular pressure and glaucoma have been shown a huge increase . This is because of the increase the geriatric population in the community and advanced medical care. Surgical correction, as a treatment, solves this problem greatly especially with the modern surgical techniques . Peribulbar block reduced the admission discharge time and reduced the burden on both the patients and the medical team. On the other hand, it carries the risk of increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Which, subsequently, limit its usage in glaucoma surgery. Dexmedetomidine, as an alpha 2 agonist, has a well-established role in decreasing intraocular pressure (IOP). This effect has been shown at a histological level and clinical level
There are currently many surgical options for patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT), including the Hydrus Microstent implant, HiFU (High intensity Focused ultrasound), STAR flo, Kahook Dual Blade, Diode laser, trabeculectomy and the Baerveldt implant, but little is known about how these different surgical techniques used to treat glaucoma affect the flow of fluid through and out of the eye (aqueous dynamics).
The use of the femtosecond laser causes an increase in the intraocular pressure (IOP) between 100 mm Hg and 200 mm Hg for a period of about 80 seconds (suction phase). If it is known that elevated IOP accelerates the degradation of retinal ganglion cells, whose axons form the optic nerve. No data has been published to date on potential adverse effects of femtolaser cataract surgery performed in patients with glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Since some time, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD -OCT) provides a detailed analysis of ganglion cell complex (GCC) for which the loss is a marker of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. The resolution of this device, about a few microns, can detect even a tiny loss of this layer. The investigators propose to evaluate the effects of elevated intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients undergoing femtolaser cataract surgery, studying the GCC through SD-OCT.
Phase II, randomized, double-masked study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of topical ocular delivery of fixed-dosed combinations of trabodenoson and latanoprost in subjects with Ocular Hypertension or Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma. All subjects who meet the study's enrollment criteria following Screening will undergo washout of all prohibited medications (if washout is needed), including their routine glaucoma medications. During the Placebo Run-In Period, placebo is applied twice daily to both eyes in all subjects. During the Treatment Period, study drug is applied to both eyes for a total of 8 weeks. Each subject will be assigned 4 weeks of AM and 4 weeks of PM dosing in a masked manner. AM vs PM dosing is masked utilizing Placebo in addition to the active drug product. During the Treatment Period, study drug (Active and Placebo) eye drop applications will occur twice daily, in the morning and in the evening. The Treatment Period will be followed by an Observation Period of approximately 7 days wherein no study eye drops are instilled. The purpose of the study is to assess the overall benefit/risk profile of binocular topical application of different doses of trabodenoson (3.0% and 6.0%) when combined with latanoprost (0.005% or 0.0025%) one drop daily (QD) for 8 weeks.
This is a single center, prospective study to calculate cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFp) using a non-invasive device and assess its role in the development of optic neuropathy due to glaucoma or idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). The study also aims to assess whether CSFp differs between untreated and treated patients with glaucoma, ocular hypertension, IIH, and other ocular diseases that may be associated with CSFp differences.
STARflo is a novel suprachoroidal Glaucoma Drainage Device (GDD), bleb-free, exhibiting anti-fibrotic properties. Release of this CE Marked implant has been limited to leading Glaucoma Centers in Europe.
The purposes of this study are to investigate the effect of intraocular pressure lowering efficacy and safety of DE-117 ophthalmic solution in subjects with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are non-/low-responders to latanoprost ophthalmic solution.
The purposes of this study are to evaluate the long-term safety and intraocular pressure-lowering efficacy of DE-117 ophthalmic solution monotherapy and concomitant use of DE-117 ophthalmic solution with timolol ophthalmic solution 0.5% in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Ophthalmology is among the most technology driven of all medical specialties, with advanced medical imaging devices - and specialised computer software - increasingly adopted for routine clinical use. While many such devices are capable of completing specific tasks, lack of "usability" prevents their widespread adoption (i.e., such devices are not easy to learn and remember, or are not efficient or subjectively pleasing to use). Moreover, devices that are difficult to use expose patients to clinical risk as a result of human error during usage. With the introduction of a new medical technology, it is essential, therefore, to have a deep understanding of patients, what they need, what they value, their abilities, and also their limitations. Human factor and usability testing, also known as "human factor engineering", deals with the formal study of people's interaction with their environment (in this case, the binocular optical coherence tomography (OCT) device). Structured, patient-centred, usability testing is essential to the design, clinical validation, regulatory approval, and widespread implementation, of all new medical devices. This is particularly the case for a putative binocular OCT system - a device intended for automated use in visually impaired, often elderly, populations. Although the binocular OCT is already at an advanced stage of hardware development, the EASE study will facilitate an iterative process of operating software and workflow modifications to optimize the device for use in these populations.
The purpose of our current series of studies is to evaluate different glaucoma treatments in vivo effect on the conventional outflow pathway, and specifically on the Schlemm's canal (SC) anatomy using Enhanced Depth Imaging (EDI)-optical coherence tomography (OCT) . The images will be taken as part of the patients routine medical follow up (before starting the treatment, and 1,4 and 12 weeks afterwards) diameter, cross-sectional area and volume will be measured using commercially available 3-dimensional reconstruction. The series of studies will be divided into 3 branches, each branch contains different treatments.For each treatment different patients will be recruited. The branches are as following- 1. The surgical branch- 1. Before and after trabeculotomy 2. Before and after cataract surgery 3. Before and after vitrectomy surgery 4. Before and after XEN™ Gel Stent implant 2. The pharmacological branch- 1. Before and during the treatment with prostaglandins analogs 2. Before and during the treatment with alpha blockers 3. Before and during the treatment with beta blockers 4. Before and during the treatment with carbonic anhydrase inhibitor 3. The laser branch- 1. Before and after trabeculoplasty 2. Before and after laser iridotomy 3. Before and after yag capsulotomy laser
