Filter by:Glaucoma is a progressive disease resulting in blindness. Determining the onset of the disease is critical so patients may obtain treatment to preserve useful vision. This study will collect data from a population of glaucoma suspects (with positive factors for the disease but with normal vision) along with a population of age matched controls using the pattern electroretinogram (PERG) and other standard eye tests for glaucoma. The PERG measures the function of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) which come together to form the optic nerve. RGCs may become dysfunctional before dying. The Continuous loop deconvolution technique (CLAD) will be used to extract transient PERG responses in both glaucoma suspects and age matched controls. All patients will be monitored with PERG, Optic Coherence Tomography (OCT) and other ancillary tests over 2 years. CLAD will be compared with conventional techniques of monitoring glaucoma (standard PERG, OCT, visual field etc) to see if the CLAD is better at distinguishing between glaucoma suspects and controls.
IOP effect of half-dose latanoprost dorzolamide-timolol will be compared to full dose. Further comparison will be made timolol-brimonidine-dorzolamide-bimatoprost. Dry eye effects of the different treatments will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to test a new method to deliver an approved medicine called Timolol in the eye of participants with glaucoma and pseudophakia. The main questions it aims to answer are how safe the investigational drug is and how the body tolerates it. The study will also check: - how safely the implant is placed in and removed from the eye and how the body responds to the procedure, - how safe different doses of timolol are and how the body handles taking it, - the amount of Timolol released in the bloodstream, - if there is any positive effect on the pressure inside the eye.
Images captured on the P200TE device on glaucoma patients
The aim of the study is to evaluate an objective, non-invasive optical device able to quantify, without eye contact, the width of the irido-corneal angle and to better identify cases of narrow angle or angle closure that may be prevented with relatively simple treatments.
Qlaris Phase 2 clinical study investigating the safety, tolerability, and ocular hypotensive efficacy of QLS-111 in combination with latanoprost in open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and/or ocular hypertension (OHT) patients.
The primary study objective is to compare the effectiveness of the combination of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implant with ELIOS or iStent inject W in reducing IOP at 12 months postoperatively.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people aged 50 years and older worldwide, second only to cataracts. Ultrasound Cyclo Plasty was first proposed as a new minimally invasive technique in the 1980 s. In recent years, many clinical studies at home and abroad have confirmed the effectiveness, safety and repeatability of UCP. The ciliary body is the target organ of UCP, and the range and accuracy of intraoperative destruction of the ciliary body are the key factors affecting the success or failure of the operation. The production of aqueous humor is closely related to the ciliary body. The dynamic balance of its production and discharge can affect IOP, and its content can directly reflect the intraocular environment. Besides,tears are easy to collect and can be used for follow-up. Previous studies have shown that various proteins in aqueous humor or tear can provide a basis for the pathophysiological changes of glaucoma, and can also be a potential biomarker for predicting the success of anti-glaucoma surgery. At present, UCP related research focuses on its effectiveness and safety, mainly reflected in three aspects : postoperative intraocular pressure, number of anti-glaucoma drugs and complications, and lack of relevant indicators that directly reflect postoperative intraocular environment changes. The purpose of this study was to reveal the changes of cytokines in aqueous humor after UCP in patients with primary glaucoma, to analyze the possible causes of these factors, and to speculate the effect of their interaction on the surgical effect, in order to increase the predictability of UCP procedure.
The researchers have used the ophthalmology textbook, clinical guideline consensus, the Internet conversation data and knowledge base of Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center in the early stage, combined with artificial feedback reinforcement learning and other techniques to fine-tune and train the LLM, and developed "Digital Twin Patient", a localized large language model that has the ability to answer ophthalmology-related medical questions, and also constructed a combination of automated model evaluation and manual evaluation by medical experts. The evaluation system combining automated model evaluation and manual evaluation by medical experts was constructed at the same time. This project intends to integrate "Digital Twin Patient" into undergraduate ophthalmology apprenticeship, simulate the consultation process of real patients through the online interaction between students and "Digital Twin Patient", explore the effect of "Digital Twin Patient" consultation teaching, provide emerging technology tools for guiding medical students to actively learn a variety of ophthalmology cases, cultivate clinical thinking, and provide the possibility of creating a new mode of intelligent teaching.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the agreement between three different grids in detecting central visual field defect in early glaucoma patients with reduced ganglion cell layer thickness.
