Evaluation of Minimal Invasive Glaucoma Surgery

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease with an accelerated and progressiv retinal ganglion cell loss and concomitant visual field defects. Glaucoma can be treated with eye drops, laser therapy or surgery. Various surgical approaches to lower intraocular pressure are available, amongst which trabeculectomy is the gold standard. Recently minimal invasive glaucoma surgery has been introduced and has become a good alternative to trabeculectomy. Randomized clinical trials investigating the postoperative outcomes of various types of glaucoma surgery are limited.

Clinical Trial Description

150 Patients will be randomized to one of the 3 surgeries. Trabeculectomy Preserflo® or Xen® will be done according to a standard protocol Data will be collected for 5 years after surgery, Visual Acuity, Applanation Tonometry, Slit lamp Biomicroscopy, Endothelial cell cound, visual fields, optical coherence tomography of the optic disc, retina and anterior segment, impression cytology and life quality will be done on day of enrollment and during followup. Mean Intraocular pressure and number of glaucoma medications, Endothelial cell loss, visual acuity, visual fields and assessment of life quality will be assessed during the post-operative follow-ups at one week, one month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years after surgery. ;
