Filter by:Studies have shown that ocular surface disease (OSD) is common among patients with glaucoma with a prevalence of 50% or more. The percentage of affected patients appears to increase with increasing number of topical anti-glaucoma products instilled. Both pre-clinical and clinical work has indicated that the preservatives used in anti-glaucoma drops, particularly benzalkonium chloride, are mainly responsible for this detrimental effect. As such more and more anti-glaucoma drugs without preservatives entered the market. To prove that switching from preserved to unpreserved antiglaucoma medication improves the signs and symptom of OSD is, however, not easy. This is on the one hand related to the physiological variability of these parameters over time and on the other hand to the poor association between signs and symptoms. Recently, a new method for measuring tear film thickness (TFT) using ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been introduced. Using this method, it has been shown that there is a correlation between reduced TFT and OSD symptoms. In the present study, it is hypothesized that changing patients who are on preserved prostaglandin formulations to preservative free tafluprost may be associated with an increase in TFT.
The Ex-PRESS Glaucoma Filtration Device is a small, non-valved implant that was designed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) by shunting aqueous humor from the anterior chamber into the subconjunctival space. The implant was developed in response to the need for more straightforward, standardized and safe surgical technique than standard filtration surgery. No iridectomy and no sclerectomy is needed if an Ex-PRESS device is implanted under a partial-thickness scleral flap. This may reduce surgical time and complications when compared to a standard trabeculectomy. In some studies it has been found to be safe and effective with few complications, even in high-risk patients. No previous studies have compared filtration surgery with Ex-Press implant to deep sclerectomy.
To compare the efficacy of a Brinzolamide/Brimonidine fixed combination (FC) with Brimonidine 0.2% in preventing intraocular pressure (IOP) elevations after neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the novel form of trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation using micropulse diode laser and trans-pars plana treatment (Micropulse TSCPC, mTSCPC MP3, IRIDEX CYCLO G6™ Glaucoma Laser System, CA, USA) in adults for the treatment of uncontrolled glaucoma.
Safety and tolerability of three different concentrations (0.1%, 03%, 0.6%) of the investigational SHP639 eye drops will be evaluated in participants with high eye pressure or primary open-angle glaucoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of complementary and alternative therapies, specifically alternate nostril breathing and foot reflexology, on intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension.
Prospective, open-labeled, randomized, controlled, multicenter study at two clinical investigative sites in Tucson, Arizona. The subjects will undergo intraocular pressure measurement with the CATS tonometer prism and the Goldmann applanation tonometer prism (GAT). Of the 200 eyes, at least 10 highly astigmatic eyes (>3 D of corneal astigmatism) each in the low, medium and high IOP ranges shall have the same clinical testing and analysis of results, with the analysis kept separate from that of the main group.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the intraocular pressure-lowering effect and the safety of DE-117 ophthalmic solution compared with Latanoprost ophthalmic solution in subjects with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
To assess the pharmacokinetic Interaction between Dorzolamide and Brimonidine in healthy male subjects.
The objective of the study is to evaluate evaluate the safety and IOP lowering efficacy of OTX-TP, a sustained release travoprost drug product, placed in the canaliculus of the eyelid in the treatment of subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension
