Filter by:To compare the safety and effectiveness between ologen collagen matrix and mitomycin-C (MMC) in glaucoma surgery. The ologen collagen matrix implantation procedure is same as traditional trabeculectomy except implant the ologen collagen matrix on the top of sclera flap after one loose stich the sclera flap. The MMC application is as the standard.
Sequential Laser Iridotomy uses argon and Nd:yag laser in the first and second steps, respectively. Using q-switched 532 nm laser in the second step is hypothesized to be as good and effective as the conventional Nd:yag laser, because it selectively targets pigmented cells and delivers a short pulse duration of 3 nanoseconds, causing less thermal and collateral damage.
This is a randomised controlled clinical trial to compare laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and primary phacoemulsification with intra-ocular lens implantation (phaco/IOL) in the treatment of acute primary angle-closure glaucoma (APACG). Following successful medical lowering of raised intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and control of intraocular inflammation, patients presenting to Singapore National Eye Centre and Singapore General Hospital with acute primary angle-closure glaucoma who meet the eligibility are randomised to one of the two treatment arms: laser peripheral iridotomy and primary phacoemulsification with intra-ocular lens implantation. These patients will be monitored closely for 2 years post-operatively.
To demonstrate that the intraocular pressure(IOP)-lowering efficacy of Travoprost (0.004%) is equal or better than that of Latanoprost 0.005% in patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma.
