View clinical trials related to Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.
Filter by:Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy characterised by progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and axons that leads to nerve fibre loss, optic disc cupping, and consecutive glaucomatous visual field defects. It is considered to be one of the major causes of blindness worldwide. It is a well accepted fact least 25 - 40% of retinal ganglion cells need to be lost before statistically detectable visual field defects appear on automated visual field testing, which is also consistent with post-mortem histologic findings in glaucomatous eyes. Since the damage associated with glaucoma is irreversible, and retinal nerve fibre layer loss is considered as an early sign of glaucomatous damage, its early detection and prevention is warranted. Retinal nerve fibre layer studies can be undertaken through non - invasive, reproducible technologies such as optical coherence tomography, scanning laser polarimetry etc. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the relationship between visual fields and retinal nerve fibre layer thickness as measured by Cirrus spectral domain optical coherence tomography with visual fields by Humphrey Field Analyser (HFA) in early and moderate primary open - angle glaucoma.
This clinical trial compares two implantable devices intended to lower the pressure inside the eye of glaucoma patients. One of the two devices will be implanted immediately following cataract surgery and the placement of a posterior chamber intra-ocular lens. Only one eye (study eye) will be implanted.

Primary objective: The primary objective is to demonstrate the superiority of Monoprost® versus Lumigan® 0.01% and Lumigan® 0.03% Unit Dose in term of safety with respect to the assessment of conjunctival hyperaemia in the worse eye at Day 84. The conjunctival hyperaemia will be scored using the MacMonnies photographic scale (0 to 5).
The primary focus of this study is to assess intraocular pressure and complication rates between patients who receive mitomycin-C using a sponge versus no-sponge.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the AqueSys XEN Implant [XEN® Gel Stent (XEN45 Implant)] for the treatment of moderate primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) participants when medications have failed to control intraocular pressure (IOP). Effectiveness was evaluated by comparing medicated preoperative IOP to postoperative values. Additionally, the number of topical IOP-lowering medications at screening were compared to the number of IOP-lowering medications at 1 year.
Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) has been identified as the most important risk factor for the development and the progression of glaucoma. Data from large interventional studies have shown that a decrease of IOP is associated with a reduced risk of progression of the disease. This underlines the importance of a potent and save IOP lowering therapy. The introduction of preservative free tafluprost offers a new treatment possibility using a potent topical prostaglandin analogue without the disadvantages of a co-administered preservative. The current study seeks to investigate the effect of an 8 week therapy with preservative free tafluprost on intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or primary open angle glaucoma having an IOP of 30 mmHg or more.
The objective of this Phase 1 study is to evaluate the VISION5 Product's safety and efficacy.
The objective is to evaluate the effects of an antioxidant formula versus placebo on ocular blood flow in a randomized double-blind, crossover design. Based upon preliminary data, it is hypothesized that a dietary supplement containing a variety of ingredients with antioxidant properties will, compared to placebo, increase ocular perfusion pressure, retrobulbar, retinal capillary and choroidal blood flow, and maintain these effects over the course of the treatment period.
The objective of this Phase 2 study is to evaluate whether the Bimatoprost Ocular Insert is non-inferior to that of timolol ophthalmic solution (0.5%) at 12 weeks.
