Filter by:The SALUS project is developing a new form of care, the application of self-tonometry by the patient itself, and an accompanying electronic case file connecting clinics, doctor's offices and patients.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of topical prophylaxis with brinzolamide-brimonidine fixed combination on short-term intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation after intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (anti-VEGF). Patients scheduled for treatment with intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF will be randomly divided into two groups. In control group no prophylactic medication will be used, whereas in case group one drop of brinzolamide-brimonidine fixed combination will be instilled two hours before the injection. IOP will be measured before the injection, 1 minute after the injection, 10 minutes and 30 minutes post-injection in all eyes. In case group, the pre-injection IOP will be measured prior to the administration of the fixed combination of brinzolamide-brimonidine. The iCare (IC200) tonometer will be used for IOP measurements at all time points.
Assessing the efficacy and safety of DEXTENZA, sustained release dexamethasone 0.4 mg insert following corneal transplant surgery (PKP, DSEK, DMEK) as compared to topical prednisolone acetate 1%.
Determine if the Tono-Vera Tonometer accurately measures intraocular pressure (IOP). The hypothesis of this test is to confirm the Tono-Vera Tonometer is equivalent to the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (within +/- 5.0 mmHg).
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of lowering intraocular pressure and safety profile of the Paul Glaucoma Implant (Advanced Ophthalmic Innovations, Singapore). This is a non-comparative and single-arm observational study and all the participants were recruited between 1 Dec 2017 and 1 Dec 2018. Patients between age 21 - 80 years with glaucoma and an IOP deemed poorly controlled by the study team despite on maximal tolerated medical therapy were included in this study. The participants were recruited from 6 tertiary ophthalmology centers including National University Hospital, Singapore, Moorfields Eye Hospital, United Kingdom, St Thomas' Hospital, United Kingdom, Chulalongkorn University and Hospital, Thailand, International Specialist Eye Centre, Malaysia and Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. All the eyes were followed-up for a period of 12 months after surgery. The examination and investigations included best corrected Snellen visual acuity, slit lamp examination, goldman applanation tonometry (GAT), dilated fundus examination and optic nerve head imaging. The participants are reviewed before surgery, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, three months, 6 months and 12 months after surgery. All the data were captured in a standardized data-collection form for analysis. The primary outcome measure was failure, if was prospectively defined as IOP more than 21mmHg or less than a 20% reduction compared to pre-operative baseline on 2 consecutive visits after 3 months, IOP less than 6 mmHg on 2 consecutive visits after 3 months, reoperation for IOP-related indication, loss of light perception vision, or removal of the implant for any reason. Intraocular pressure outcomes, number of IOP-lowering medications and the rate of surgical complications were secondary outcome measures in this study.
Intraocular pressure measurement (IOP) is part of a routine eye examination. High and low eye pressure may be linked to certain eye conditions such as glaucoma. The current gold standard for IOP measurement is a technique called Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT). GAT requires the use of a Goldmann applanation tonometer mounted on a slit lamp. Apart from GAT, there are many other devices that can be used to measure IOP, including the iCare tonometers. In this prospective study, investigators will be measuring participant's IOP with GAT, Icare PRO, and Icare ic200 tonometers to see if there is an agreement in IOP between the different devices. Investigator will also look if there is a concordance between different tonometers in low, moderate and high IOP range. Given the postural requirements for performing GAT, patients with higher body mass index (BMI) tend to have difficulties with proper positioning at the slit lamp that may lead to inaccurate GAT measurements. To this end, investigators will analyze the effect of BMI on IOP measurements with different devices. Additionally, comfort level of the patients with different tonometry devices will be recorded using a visual analog scale.
The Kahook Dual Blade is a single-use device specially designed to create a clean cut in the trabecular meshwork. This ablation in the trabecular meshwork allows a better outflow of the aqueous humor, thus reducing the intraocular pressure (IOP), theoretically beyond the IOP reduction achieved by other minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices. Studies already published showed good results in terms of the reduction of the number of glaucoma medications and the reduction in the IOP, but not a single study has been performed prospectively comparing the efficacy of the technique, not even with the cataract surgery.
Purpose to study the acute effects of both forms of aerobic exercise (HIIT and SSMIT) on intraocular pressure among healthy sedentary individuals
Adequate perfusion is necessary for maintaining tissue function. This applies also for the eye, in which ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) is generally estimated as the difference between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and intraocular pressure (IOP). In the latter formula, IOP substitutes for central retinal venous pressure (CRVP), which is assumed to be slightly higher than IOP to allow blood flow to exit the eye. It has, however, been found that in some patients CRVP is elevated and significantly higher than IOP, which would lead to a decrease in OPP which is not taken in account with the proposed formula. Therefore, techniques for measurement of CRVP are warranted. Recently, a new, method for measurement of this parameter without corneal contact has been introduced. Briefly, with this method, IOP is elevated until the vein collapses, which then equals CRVP. In the present study this technique will be applied in 12 healthy subjects to validate whether the values that are preset by the device correlate to measurements obtained with standard Goldmann applanation tonometry. For this purpose, IOP will be experimentally increased in steps of approximately 5mmHg until it reaches 40mmHg as measured by applanation tonometry. After a resting period of 30 minutes, IOP will be again increased stepwise to 40 mmHg while retinal vessel diameters will be monitored using dynamic vessel analyzer. During this session CRVP will be measured. After another resting period of 30 minutes IOP will be stepwise increased a third time and after each step OCT, OCT-A and OCT EDI will be performed.
This study will evaluate whether pre-treating patients with Brimonidine 0.2% before and/or after dilating the pupils will help to control the changes in intraocular pressure often seen when using dilating drops. The study will also evaluate the effects of different sequences of administering dilating drops along with Brimonidine on pupil size and reactivity.
