Filter by:The purpose of this study is to follow and describe the outcomes of patients after selective and pascal laser trabeculoplasty treatment for chronic open-angle glaucoma.
To evaluate ocular hypotensive efficacy and safety of PG324 Ophthalmic Solution compared to netarsudil (AR-13324) ophthalmic solution 0.02% and latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005%
Measurement of corneal temperature gives indirect information about the ocular blood flow. For this reason corneal temperature can be used as a surrogate to quantify ocular blood flow. It can be measured by means of infrared thermography. This test, however, is not used in an everyday clinical routine so far. In this study is investigated if ocular blood flow disturbances in glaucoma patients can be diagnosed by means of infrared thermography. Corneal temperature are measured in normal tension glaucoma patients and healthy controls before and after cold provocation test. In the group of patients and the group of controls, subjects with and without a primary vascular dysregulation (PVD) are included. This will allow to analyze and compare the influence of cold provocation on corneal temperature (and indirectly ocular blood flow) in these study Groups.
This prospective, monocentric, non-invasive clinical study is designed to measure normal structural parameters of the optic nerve head, the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer, and the macula using the Heidelberg Spectralis OCT device. This study is conducted in normal, healthy volunteers and glaucoma patients. The main goal of the study is to provide an analysis of the comparability of these parameters between two different software versions and their respective method of scan centration on the optic disc center. The study will include at least 40 eyes of 40 subjects; 20 normal, healthy subjects and 20 glaucoma patients. All subjects will undergo Spectralis OCT imaging, biometric and ophthalmoscopic examination, and visual field testing in one single visit. Total study duration (first patient first visit to last patient last visit) is anticipated to be approximately 4 weeks.
Diurnal fluctuations of intraocular pressure in EX-Press Valve Blebs in Glaucoma Patients Intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction is the mainstay of glaucoma management. (1) Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is generally managed by decreasing the intraocular pressure (IOP) to a level that the physician believes will prevent further glaucomatous damage. However, in a significant proportion of patients, the visual fields continue to deteriorate in spite of office pressures within the range of normal values (8). It has been suggested that the progressive damage in some cases could be caused by peaks of IOP or diurnal IOP variability not detected by tonometry during office hours. It is possible that certain drugs or surgical interventions are more effective than others in dampening these fluctuations. The purpose of our study is to compare the diurnal IOP fluctuations in glaucoma patients treated with medications or Ex-press filtration surgery.
To evaluation interest in use of smartphone- and tablet-based application (app) for participants with glaucoma, ocular hypertension, those at risk and their caregivers.
Glaucoma is a very frequent disease in Brittany. In glaucoma the retinal ganglion cells and their axons slowly die with visible changes at the optic nerve head (cupping). Without early diagnosis and effective treatment or with delayed treatment decrease of visual acuity or blindness become. In secondary pseudoexfoliation glaucoma grayish-white deposits of abnormal proteins are found on all surfaces of eye irrigated by the aqueous humor. The deposits of PEX material inside the trabecular meshwork decrease aqueous humour outflow and the intraocular pression raise. The exfoliation material is found on the surface of the lens capsule with frequent developement of nuclear cataract . After cataract surgery the intra ocular pressure (IOP) decrease. Some recent study have found decreasing ocular volume variation associated to IOP fluctuation in night after cataract surgery in normal pressure glaucoma patients. In our study we want see if it's the same thing in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma patients.
The main purpose of this project is to investigate the blood flow of the ophthalmic artery (OA) in patients with ocular hypertension, high tension glaucoma and normal tension glaucoma. It is also to study the influence of the intraocular pressure difference on OA blood flow in the two first groups. Furthermore, the investigators want to understand the relationship between ocular dynamics, blood flow and structural alternations of the optic nerve head (ONH). The rationale behind the study is to improve knowledge of the pathogenesis of glaucoma.
The overall objective of the study is to scope the self-management for self-monitoring glaucoma using home tonometry.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 0.5% GL101 topical gel administered twice daily for 28 days in ameliorating adverse ocular side effects in patients under ongoing treatment with glaucoma medications.
