Filter by:The purpose of this multi-center, open label, single arm, post-marketing surveillance study is to assess the safety of Travacom in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are insufficiently responsive to beta-blockers, prostaglandins, or other intraocular pressure-lowering (IOP) medication and when use of Travacom is considered appropriate.
The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between Intraocular Pressure (IOP) fluctuations of glaucoma patients as recorded with an IOP-sensing contact lens (SENSIMED Triggerfish®), during two 24-hour periods after selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) for routine treatment of glaucoma.
The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations of glaucoma patients as recorded with an IOP-sensing contact lens (SENSIMED Triggerfish®), during two 24-hour periods, before and after cataract surgery. This device has previously been investigated and shown to be safe and well tolerated.
This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of Triple Combination Therapy with dorzolamide hydrochloride/brimonidine tartrate/timolol ophthalmic solution in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension who have elevated IOP on dorzolamide hydrochloride/timolol maleate combination therapy.
Endothelial dysfunction can be seen in a variety of vascular related ocular diseases such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy. There is accumulating evidence now that statins may at least partially improve endothelial function in several vascular beds, an effect that is probably independent of the lipid lowering effects of the statins. Consequently, the current study seeks to investigate whether administration of 10 mg rosuvastatin by mouth (p.o.) for 12 weeks can improve the endothelial function in patients with glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. For this purpose, flow mediated vasodilatation of the brachial artery and flicker induced vasodilatation of retinal vessels will be measured at baseline, after 6 and 12 weeks of treatment with rosuvastatin.
The purpose of this study is to assess the correlation of vascular parameters, including genetic factors as well as ocular blood flow parameters against the progression rate of glaucomatous damage in patients with progressive OAG.
Elevated intraocular pressure is still the main risk factor for development and progression of glaucoma. Several drugs exist on the market that may decrease IOP in glaucomatous patients. However, some patients cannot reach the target pressure despite a multitherapy with a combination of drugs, and are therefore addressed to surgical treatments. Forskolin is a natural compound that is a receptor-independent adenyl-cyclase activator, that increases intracellular cAMP. It has been shown to be able to decrease IOP after topical application, by a mechanism that is not used by the other drugs. Aim of the present study is to see whether a food supplement containing forskolin (KRONEK) has any effect on the IOP of POAG patients that cannot reach their target pressure, and are therefore on the waiting list for surgical intervention.

Aim of the present study is to see whether oral administration of a food supplement containing forskolin (KRONEK) has any effect on the IOP of POAG patients with stable IOP obtained by treatment with either beta-blockers or prostaglandins.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate IOP response to experimental dose of Latanoprost- PPDS in subjects with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.
Both Cosopt® and Xalatan® plus Timoptic® will significantly lower IOP, however only Cosopt® will demonstrate positive hemodynamic effects. The clinical significance of this will be investigated by examining the ophthalmic and short posterior ciliary arteries to determine the blood supply to the optic nerve head, the site of damage in glaucoma
