Filter by:Two primary care-based screening systems will be tested to identify subjects with referrable glaucoma to hospital care. Subjects between 45 to 64 years old living in the metropolitan area of Barcelona will be invited to participate in a one-time visit, with an optic disc examination and intraocular pressure (IOP). The criteria for referring a patient will be the detection of glaucoma but with two different approaches depending on which Integrated Practice Unit (IPU) the patients will be allocated to: one arm using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) reading software of the optic disc picture; and the other one will base their referral after an ophthalmic examination performed by an ophthalmologist. In both circuits, an optic nerve head photography will be obtained, and a masked reading center will be established to determine the ground truth for diagnosis. This screening trial will explore the level of agreement between both systems and the cost-effectiveness of each of them. Secondary analyses will include potential diagnostic composite scores (including other ancillary tests, such as optical coherence tomography images, that could maximize the screening process); the identification of population and disease characteristics (type of glaucoma, intraocular pressure) that could increase the effectivity and adherence to the screening process.
Aim of this study is to investigate the administration effects of the combination of citicoline 40mg/ml and nicotinamide 15mg/ml oral solution (Kron®) on short term improvement in inner retinal function, bioelectrical activity of the visual cortex and visual function.
The goal of this clinical trial is to show non-inferiority of the MIMS® device/procedure with Mitomycin-C, in terms of its surgical success rate, compared to trabeculectomy with Mitomycin-C in subjects diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma, whose intraocular pressure is not controlled despite polypharmacy. Eligible screened participants will undergo the MIMS® procedure and will be followed for a period of 12 months in this single-arm study. Investigators will compare the results of this study to the surgical success rate of traditional trabeculectomy with Mitomycin-C.
Introduction: Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness globally. Most anti-hypertensive drops contain preservatives harmful to the corneal epithelium, with up to 78% of treated patients reporting dry eye symptoms. Autologous serum eye drops (ASED), contains essential growth factors and nutrients which may promote corneal and conjunctival integrity, offering benefits over traditional treatments. This study investigates the efficacy of 20% ASED over placebo in the treatment of corneal epitheliopathies in patients with glaucoma treated with antihypertensive drops. Methods: The present study is a triple-blinded, randomized controlled trial that anticipates to enroll 25 patients (50 eyes) with bilateral corneal epitheliopathy secondary to antihypertensive glaucoma treatments. Patients will receive autologous serum eye drops in one eye and placebo in the contralateral eye for two months, in addition to standard artificial tears treatment. The primary outcome is the comparison of National Eye Institute (NEI) scores between autologous serum drops and placebo-treated eyes at two months. Secondary outcomes include Schirmer's test scores, visual acuity, tear break-up time (TBUT), Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores, intraocular pressure, and complication rates. The study aims to analyze the effectiveness of autologous serum eye drops in treating corneal epitheliopathies in glaucoma patients, potentially offering a new therapeutic avenue.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of Hydrus Microstent, incisional goniotomy, and excisional goniotomy when combined with cataract surgery in patients with mild and moderate open-angle glaucoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How do the intraocular pressure lowering effects of these three microinvasive glaucoma surgeries compare? - How do the safety profiles of these three microinvasive glaucoma surgeries compare? Participants will be randomized to one of these three microinvasive glaucoma surgeries in combination with cataract surgery.
Glaucoma is a chronic disease of the optic nerve, characterized by progressive loss of nerve cells in the retina, leading to progressive loss of peripheral and central vision. There are in fact several types of glaucoma, which is the world's second leading cause of blindness after cataracts, and the leading cause of irreversible blindness. To date, to our knowledge, there is no work analyzing the progression of angiographic OCT in patients with glaucoma. The main aim of this study is to compare the 3-year progression rate of 3 examinations in advanced glaucoma patients: one functional (visual field) and two anatomical (OCTa and OCTrnfl).
A randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, two-arm, multiple dose, multicenter, clinical endpoint bioequivalence study
The CATS Tonometer prism clinical study is intended to determine repeatability of intraocular pressure measurement in human corneas which have undergone a LASIK procedure when compared to a standard Goldmann prism, validating the human LASIK eye findings comparing CATS Tonometer and Goldmann prisms to intracameral pressure in cadaver eyes.
The investigators will test the hypothesis that images of the optic nerve head taken a 2 different eye pressures will yield strain estimates that are predictive of the course of glaucoma.
The goal of this randomised control trial is to learn about the effect of green tea consumption on patients with primary glaucoma. The main questions to answer are: 1. Is there any difference of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patient with primary glaucoma after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months who is consuming green tea compared to patient not consuming green tea? 2. Is there any difference of retina nerve fibre layer in patient with primary glaucoma after 1 month, 3months and 6 months who is consuming green tea compared to patient not consuming green tea? Researchers will compare patients with primary glaucoma who are consuming green tea and normal daily drinking to see if any affect to intraocular pressure and retina nerve fibre layer.
