Filter by: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 purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety of the Glaukos® iStent® Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent Model GTS100 in conjunction with cataract surgery vs. cataract surgery only, in subjects with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. The key to prevention of visual loss from glaucoma is early detection of the disease or its progression and timely treatment. The proposed study will investigate the role of various tests in improving detection of disease progression in advanced glaucoma. Evaluation of the peripheral field of vision (visual field examination) remains the current standard for detection of progression in glaucoma. However, there is a lot of variability or inconsistency in eyes with advanced glaucoma, which could make it difficult to detect worsening of glaucoma with visual fields. The optic nerve demonstrates significant damage in such eyes and hence oftentimes repeat imaging of the optic nerve head is not helpful for detection of change. Therefore, imaging of the central retina (the innermost sensitive tissue lining the inside of the eye), called macula, has been proposed to supplant imaging of the nerve in eyes with severe glaucoma. The macula aids in detailed central vision. Since the macular retinal neural cells are the last ones to be affected in glaucoma, measurement of macular retinal thickness could provide significant information with regard to the course of glaucoma. In the proposed study, glaucoma patients will be tested and followed with various measurements done with newer versions of optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging and visual field machines. The patients will undergo repeat imaging and visual field testing every 6 months over the course of 5 years. Rates of change will be estimated. We will explore if changes in various outcome measures derived from imaging are correlated with the corresponding visual field changes in glaucoma, and whether the former can be used as an alternative method for detecting simultaneous or subsequent glaucoma progression. The hypothesis for this proposed research is that macular OCT parameters are valid structural measures that can be used especially in advanced disease to follow the course of glaucoma.
This randomized dose-ranging study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy (reduction in intraocular pressure) of multiple dose levels of ATS907, vehicle, or latanoprost in subjects with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. In the first portion, approximately 75 subjects will be randomized to receive either ATS907 or vehicle eye drops for up to 28 days, administered both once and twice daily. In the second portion, up to 180 subjects will be randomized to receive either ATS907 or latanoprost for up to 28 days. Plasma pharmacokinetics will also be evaluated during the first portion of the study.
The study has the purpose to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the goniocurettage as a first choice of surgical treatment for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in patients with good vision.
The purpose of this study is to: - To evaluate the efficacy of Refrigeration-Free Latanoprost compared to Latanoprost stored at refrigeration temperature with respect to the diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) change from baseline after 3 months of therapy in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Refrigeration-Free Latanoprost in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the IOPtiMate (OT-135P) in Laser Assisted Non-Penetrating Glaucoma surgery in Open-Angle and Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare the two psychophysical perimetric techniques regarding progression of the visual field.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate if near-to-infrared light stimulation can improve retinal ganglion cell function in glaucomatous patients.
In the management of open angle glaucoma, frequently more then one procedure is necessary to control the intra ocular pressure. There is still no consensus whether this second intervention should be a second trabeculectomy or a shunt device. In the present study we compare a second trabeculectomy versus Ahmed silicone shunt device in open angle glaucoma patients with previous trabeculectomy without proper IOP control.
