Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the relationship between Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Normal Tension Glaucoma (NTG). OSA is a nighttime disorder of the upper airway that causes an intermittent lack of oxygen while sleeping. NTG is a type of glaucoma that occurs despite the normal intraocular pressure levels, making its detection more difficult. Left untreated, irreversible optic nerve damage and extensive vision loss can result. Previous research has shown some evidence between OSA and the development of NTG. The investigators are researching whether undergoing treatment for OSA would help to improve the vascular health to the retina, and in effect, improve the early signs of visual dysfunction seen with diagnostic testing.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of the use of insulin eye drops in the control of dry eye disease in patients with topical hypotensors, compared to placebo (artificial tears). The main question aims to answer whether glaucoma patients treated with topical hypotensors could benefit from the use of insulin eye drops for the treatment of dry eye. Participants will be assigned to one of the two treatment arms and will be required to attend four follow-up visits (baseline, 1, 3, and 6 months).
Qlaris' Phase 2 clinical trial investigating the safety, tolerability, and ocular hypotensive efficacy of QLS-111 in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension patients.
This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the diagnostic performance of two AI-enabled screening strategies - ROTA (RNFL optical texture analysis) assessment versus optic disc photography - in detecting glaucoma within a population-based sample. Secondary objectives are to (1) compare the diagnostic performance of ROTA AI assessment versus OCT RNFL thickness assessment by AI, and ROTA AI assessment versus OCT RNFL thickness assessment by trained graders, (2) investigate the cost-effectiveness of AI ROTA assessment for glaucoma screening, and (3) estimate the prevalence of glaucoma in Hong Kong.
Falls are one of the most serious public health concerns for seniors, with significant medical and economic consequences. This concern is even higher in patients with peripheral field loss due to glaucoma because of the patients' compromised visual input. The investigators' project proposes an innovative, entertaining, easily accessible and enjoyable intervention for improving mobility and postural control function in glaucoma patients with peripheral vision loss, who are more prone to falls and suffer from fear of falling. The new intervention examined in this project can be implemented in current vision and balance rehabilitation programs, and may benefit patients with different types of visual impairment to minimize their risk of falls and improve their quality of life.
The aim of this study was to verify whether prostaglandin analogue (PA) eye drops influence the retinal thickness of glaucomatous patients undergoing trabeculectomy (TRAB) surgery. We selected eyes of patients with glaucoma with surgical indication for TRAB who were using PA eye drops and without previous retinal alterations, from the Centro de Referência em Oftalmologia (CEROF) from the Federal University of Goiás and Fundação Banco de Olhos de Goiás (FUBOG). Patients were divided into 2 groups: the study group (SG) and the control group (CG). In the CG, the PA was suspended between 30 and 60 days before the preoperative exams were performed (maximum of 15 days before surgery for both groups). All patients included were submitted to various eye exams before the procedure, and postoperatively on 3 occasions: 1 to 3 days ("PO1"), 6 to 9 days ("PO7") and 27 to 30 days ("PO30") after surgery.
This work aims to study the peripapillary and macular microvascular changes in primary open angle and primary angle closure glaucoma using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA).
Evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the ELIOS System procedure to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in adult subjects with mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG)
Dr. Lisa A. Hark (PI and Study Chair) and an interdisciplinary team have designed the New York City Eye Study (NYCES) to promote eye and vision health equity and address eye health disparities in adults age 21+ (PAR-23-009/NOT-EY-22-004).
The goal of this study is to compare efficacy and safety of Dorzotimol eye drops, 20 mg/mL + 5 mg/mL manufactured by JADRAN-GALENSKI LABORATORIJ d.d. (Croatia) aimed at lowering elevated IOP in patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) versus Cosopt® eye drops, 20 mg/mL + 5 mg/mL manufactured by Laboratoires Merck Sharp & Dohme-Chibret, France. The main questions it aims to answer are: - if the efficacy of the investigational drug and the reference drug in patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma is equal; - if the safety of the investigational drug and the reference drug in patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma is equal. A total of 110 participants were screened and randomized 1:1 to the investigational drug (Dorzotimol) group or the reference drug (Cosopt) group. 55 patients were recruited in each group. Researchers compared the investigational drug (Dorzotimol) group with the reference drug (Cosopt) group to see if the efficacy and safety of the investigational drug and the reference drug in patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma are equal.
