Filter by:The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NCX 470 Ophthalmic Solution in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. In the adaptive dose selection phase of the trial, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of two doses of NCX 470 (0.065% or 0.1%) or to latanoprost 0.005%. Following the selection of one dose of NCX 470, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the chosen dose of NCX 470 or to latanoprost 0.005%.
This study was carried out to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined phacoemulsification and Ultrasound ciliary plasty (Phaco-UCP) as a first-line surgical treatment of coexisting cataract and op /en angle glaucoma compared to phacoemulsification alone. To our knowledge, this is the first report of results of combined Phaco-UCP
This study was intended to test if reframing an offer for a free follow-up eye examination could increase uptake within ongoing community-based screening program for low-income and minority populations in Baltimore City. This study evaluated the effect of offering participants a physical voucher they were told was redeemable for free follow-up, relative to simply telling participants that the follow-up appointment would be free of charge. The investigators assessed two forms of vouchers, one with estimated value information, and one without. The underlying hypothesis was that reframing these already free offers would increase uptake by increasing perceived offer value and increasing a sense of regret from not taking advantage of a "good deal."
A team at the National Healthcare Group Eye Institute in Singapore have developed an augmented reality mobile phone application, EyeCU, to simulate glaucoma progression and enhance understanding about the disease and its course. It is a bilingual (English/Spanish) application that is free-to-download on the Android and Apple app store. As eye care physicians in the South Bronx, the investigators are hopeful that the findings in this study can be extrapolated to our patients in the South Bronx, where poor health literacy, non-adherence to glaucoma medication and poor follow-up remains a large barrier. The investigators hope that by offering the simulation in both English and Spanish, the investigators will not only be able to improve our patients' understanding of glaucoma, but also improve glaucoma treatment adherence and assess our patient population's responsiveness to augmented reality as an educational platform.
To compare between outcome of Express implant and subscleral trabeculectomy (SST) in management of glaucoma after previous trabeculectomy with a fibrotic bleb.
To measure surgical success of open vs closed conjunctiva with Xen implantation.
This is a phase 2, double masked, randomized, multi-center, parallel-group, 28-day study assessing the safety, tolerability and ocular hypotensive efficacy of AKB-9778 Ophthalmic Solution 4.0% administered once (AM) or twice (AM & PM) daily when used as an adjunctive therapy to latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005% once daily (PM) in subjects with elevated IOP due to OAG or OHT.
Rhopressa effectively lowers intra-ocular pressure by improving conventional outflow and decreasing episcleral venous pressure. While this may result in improved episcleral venous flow, current methods to quantify episcleral blood flow in vivo are rudimentary and unable to accurately and precisely determine flow. Proof that Rhopressa effectively increases episcleral venous flow would differentiate it from other medications. Furthermore, this evidence could galvanize interest in the use of Rhopressa after popular Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) procedures. In future studies, MIGS procedures could be used to improve the proximal outflow pathway, and Rhopressa to enhance distal outflow. Specific Aim: To determine the effect of Rhopressa on episcleral venous outflow and retinal blood flow in a cohort of treatment-naïve ocular hypertensive and glaucoma suspect patients. Hypothesis: Rhopressa increases episcleral venous flow and retinal blood flow from baseline at both 1 hour and 1 week after initiation of therapy.
Determine if the Tono-Vera Tonometer accurately measures intraocular pressure (IOP). The hypothesis of this test is to confirm the Tono-Vera Tonometer is equivalent to the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (within +/- 5.0 mmHg).
To assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single sustained release dose of OTX-TIC, a sustained release travoprost drug product, in subjects with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
