Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of applying pulse electrical stimulation around eyes of glaucoma patients.
With the increasing incidence of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), subsequent neovascular glaucoma (NVG) has become one of the main causes of blindness in PDR patients, and the intraocular pressure of PDR patients with NVG is often stubborn. For these patients, not only is the effect of drugs in lowering intraocular pressure poor, but the results of surgery are often unsatisfactory. Because of its poor prognosis, clinical research for better strategy is of great significance in the current situation. At present, for such patients, a combination of effective control of intraocular pressure and treatment of the primary disease is often used. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effects of preoperative with/without intraoperative anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug therapy combined with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP), and pressure-reducing valve implantation in patients with NVG secondary to PDR. Furthermore, the changes of neurotrophic factors in the vitreous humor before and after anti-VEGF treatment will be explored.
This study aims to develop a training course for screening glaucoma using fundus images obtained during diabetic retinopathy screening by non-physician graders. The study also aims to test this training course among non-physician graders in Vietnam
This trial will study the safety and efficacy of intravenous and sub-tenon delivery of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of Eye diseases
In adult patients, intraocular pression readings are often taken with an air puff tonometer or goldmann tonometer. The current gold standard for IOP measurement is the Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT). In some patients, measurement of intraocular pressure taken by applanation or by air puff may prove to be impossible for various reasons (obesity, handicap, mental disorder, blindness for Air Puff Tonometry, Anxiety, etc). There are also many other devices that can be used to measure IOP, including those using rebound tonometry like the Icare 200. The rebound tonometer would systematize IOP screening because of its ease of use, provided its measurements are reliable. In this prospective study, investigators will be measuring participant's IOP with Goldmann Applanation Tonometry, Icare 200 Tonometer and Air Puff Tonometry to see if there is an agreement in IOP between the different devices. Investigators will also look if there is a concordance between central corneal thickness and IOP. Moreover, investigators will look if there is a IOP concordance between the 3 different devices for hight BMI people. Indeed, higher body mass index tend to have difficulties with proper positioning at the slit lamp that may lead to inaccurate GAT measurements. Additionally, stress level of the patients with different tonometry devices will be recorded using a visual analog scale.
To compare the incidence of glaucoma-related adverse events of in-the-bag versus ciliary-sulcus-fixed secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in pediatric aphakia
In this study, the study team utilize virtual reality (VR) to simulate visual impairments of different types and severity in healthy subjects. The platform implements three of the most widespread forms of visual impairment in the United States (US): age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and glaucoma, each with three levels of severity, (mild, moderate, and severe). At present, glaucoma is further developed toward a multidimensional visual impairment simulation. The platform is utilized: i) to provide a safe, controllable, and repeatable set of environments for development and preliminary testing of electronic travel aids (ETAs) in a variety of conditions (i.e., using the ETA to navigate in the immersed environment); and ii) to equip blind and low vision (BVI) professionals, inclusive of orientation and mobility (O&M) instructors, with a controlled, tunable training platform for skill/capacity building, assessment, and refinement of O&M techniques, as well as visually impaired trainees with a safe and immersive environment to improve their O&M skills and learn novel techniques. Two sets of hypothesis-driven experiments are proposed to assess the feasibility of the platform with respect to these two objectives.
To evaluate safety, effectiveness, and the surgical performance of CADENCE in patients with refractory glaucoma.
Glaucoma is the second most common blindness disease in the world, second only to cataracts. The current treatment of glaucoma is mainly to reduce intraocular pressure.At present, two commonly used surgical methods are trabeculectomy and implantation of drainage valve. These methods are superior to drug treatment in reducing intraocular pressure, but the effect duration of these two methods is not long, and there may be serious complications and failure. Compared with traditional glaucoma surgery, MIGS may have better safety.The XEN45 gel implant is a collagen tube with a length of 6 mm and a diameter of 45 µm, which creates a new channel for drainage of aqueous humor by connecting the anterior chamber and the subconjunctival space. The implant is composed of porcine gelatin cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, and has good biocompatibility and tolerance. Therefore, after the advent of XEN45 products, more and more studies have shown that this treatment has excellent safety and effectiveness in reducing intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma. Considering that the XEN45 gel stent has been in the market for a relatively short time, we conducted this prospective study to investigate the effect of XEN45 surgery in the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma, in order to support ophthalmologists in formulating the best surgical plan for patients. The promotion of this surgical method.
