Glaucoma is among the leading causes for blindness in the western world. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) has been identified as the most important risk factor. However, some patients progress despite adequate IOP lowering while some subjects with elevated IOP never develop glaucoma. Other patients develop glaucoma although IOP measurements were always in the normal range. Therefore, other factors must be involved. In the last years, studies using MRI have been performed and evidence has accumulated that also changes in retrobulbar structures are present, in particular in the lateral geniculate nucleus and the visual cortex. However, these studies were limited by the low spatial resolution of the MRI instruments used.
The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the repeatability of SD-OCT (Spectralis™ OCT, Version 6.0, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) RNFL thickness measurements with a new software (glaucoma premium module) with the well established peripapillary RNFL thickness measurements in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.
Prospective, multicentric, single arm post market study to gather safety and effectiveness data on the CE Marked InnFocus MicroShunt (MIDI Arrow) device in primary open angle glaucoma patients
Autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC) extracted using Celution 800/CRS System (Cytori Therapeutics Inc) from a portion of the fat harvested from the patient's front abdominal wall. ADRC will be administered one-time into subtenon space of patient's eyeball. This is a single arm study with no control. All patients receive cell therapy.
This study evaluates the long-term (13-months) safety of the Bimatoprost Ocular Insert in participants with Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension who completed study FSV5-002. All participants received Bimatoprost Ocular Insert and wore it for approximately 7 months, then had the Insert removed and a new insert placed for another 6 months.
Most of the patients under long application of anti-glaucoma eyedrops endure severe ocular surface irritation, which interrupt their quality of life a lot. Lots of studies aimed to search for new drugs for therapy. The investigators hypothesized that the artificial tears containing vitamin A or carbomer may be a great substitute. Both of the two drugs were in common use and had already been tested in animals.
This is a Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of T-2345 dosed to one of both eyes once daily for 84 days compared to Xalatan dosed to one of both eyes once daily for 84 days in patients with elevated eye pressure.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare efficacy and tolerability of the brand-name latanoprost and one of its generic version in subjects with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. This randomized, double-blinded, cross-over design study has a 4 months follow-up. There are two periods of 8 weeks. During the first period, subjects put brand-name latanoprost in one eye and the generic version in the other one. In the second period, drops are switched from one eye to the other. There are intraocular pressure measurements (diurnal curves) on day 0 (before treatment), at 8 weeks (at the end of first period) and at 16 weeks (at the end of second period). Variations of intraocular pressure in each eye will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to use a special eye imaging technique, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), to image the lens (the curved, transparent part of the eye that helps you to see clearly by directing images of light onto the back of your eye) and note any changes in exfoliation syndrome. Exfoliation syndrome is a common condition that has many ways of showing up in the eye, including the formation of deposits in the eye, shakiness of the lens that can complicate cataract surgery, and a higher chance of developing a type of glaucoma called exfoliation glaucoma. In this study we plan to collect images and measure exfoliation deposits on the lens with AS-OCT, which can take high resolution pictures of the eye without requiring contact with the eye. We will compare lens images of subjects with exfoliation syndrome to those of subjects with primary open angle glaucoma and cataracts. This type of imaging could be used in patients with known diagnosis of exfoliation syndrome to track disease progression and see how they respond to possible treatments. We also hope that with this imaging technology we can detect early changes in currently unaffected eyes, which could be useful for predicting which patients may develop the disease.
