Filter by:This prospective, crossover study is designed to correlate SENSIMED Triggerfish® (TF) continuous IOP monitoring with conventional 24 h intraocular pressure profiles in glaucoma patients. There are two control measurements: The GAT/Perkins profile in the same eye in the second night and the GAT/Perkins profile in the same night in the fellow eye. Therefore, each eye serves as test eye and also as control for the second test eye.
The objectives of this study are to assess the safety and effectiveness of the SENSIMED Triggerfish® (TF) device in continuous recording of relative fluctuation in intraocular pressure (IOP). Safety will be assessed by recording of AEs during the 24 hours of continuous TF recording. TF efficacy will be evaluated by demonstrating TF ability to detect: 1. The known phenomenon of increase in IOP when moving from waking state to going to bed, as reflected in pneumotonometer measurements 2. Ocular Pulse frequency relative to direct measurement of Heart Rate (HR). A screening visit and one 24-hour IOP fluctuation recording session are planned for each patient. IOP fluctuation recording sessions will be carried out in a sleep unit. An ophthalmological examination of the eyes will be done at screening and prior to and following the device recording.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of external selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in treating open angle glaucoma,compared to traditional SLT.
The primary objective of this study was to compare the change in intraocular pressure (IOP) of three different doses of latanoprost (75, 100 and 125 ug/ml) to that of the marketed 50 ug/ml dose, in a dose ranging study.
High intraocular pressure (IOP) is a known risk factor for developing primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). There is controversy in the literature regarding the degree to which caffeine influences IOP, with some studies reporting minimal changes in IOP while others report up to 4 mmHg increases. To date there are no double-masked randomized controlled trials that examine acute caffeinated coffee's effects on IOP in patients with or at risk for primary open-angle glaucoma. The investigators aim to better understand the relationship between acute caffeinated coffee (vs decaffeinate coffee) consumption and IOP in a double-masked, crossover randomized controlled clinical trial.
Glaucomatous damage not only occurred to retinal ganglion cells in the eyes, but went across optic nerves, visual chiasm, lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and finally the visual cortex; the neural degenerations could be identified through the whole visual tract, which suggests the central nerve system may play a vital role in the progression of glaucoma. The investigators used MRI to investigate changes of visual pathway in vivo.
The investigators hypothesize that KeraSys is a safe as Tutoplast to cover the tube of the Molteno 3 glaucoma drainage device during surgery
A 6-month, parallel, non-interventional trial investigating the level of adherence and the impact of dosing in open-angle glaucoma patients who receive either unfixed therapy with latanoprost once in the evening and timolol twice daily, or latanoprost/timolol fixed combination therapy once in the evening. All patients participating in this observational study will be monitored for their adherence with the use of Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS). At the end of treatment periods treatment satisfaction will be assessed with selected questions from the Treatment Satisfaction Survey-Intraocular Pressure survey. This study will monitor objectively, for the first time, adherence and intraocular pressure control with fixed versus unfixed therapy. Finally it will help us to elucidate the impact of dosing (once-a-day versus three-times-daily) on the level of adherence in glaucoma.
A study in which intraocular pressure (IOP) will be monitored over 24 hours using the SENSIMED Triggerfish® device and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in primary open angle glaucoma patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the comparability of diurnal IOP patterns emerging from SENSIMED Triggerfish and GAT.
This is a single-center, cross-over comparison parallel group randomized trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ganfort compared to Duotrav for a treatment period of 8 weeks each.
