Filter by:This is a randomized study with two treatment arms: 'initial Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) followed by conventional medical therapy as required' ('Laser-1st') and 'medical therapy without laser ('Medicine-1st'). It compares quality of life in the two arms at three years, while also examining the incremental cost and cost-effectiveness of Laser-1st versus Medicine-1st.
The purpose of this study is to develop an educational program that will help improve the patients' understanding of what laser treatment is, how it might be beneficial to them, and why it should be the first eye pressure lowering glaucoma treatment to consider before the use of glaucoma eye drops.
This study evaluates the efficacy and tolerability of a new formulation of latanoprost without Benzalkonium Chloride (BAK-free). Patients with open-angle glaucoma who were using BAK-containing latanoprost ophthalmic solution for ≥6 months, switched to BAK-free latanoprost ophthalmic emulsion.
This study evaluates the possible acute changes in peripapillary blood flow after instillation of antiglaucoma medications in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), normal tension glaucoma (NTG), or ocular hypertension (OHTN) using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) angiography.
Aim: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the PRO-122 ophthalmic solution manufactured by Laboratorios Sophia S.A. de C.V. versus Krytantek Ofteno® ophthalmic solution like hypotensive therapy in subjects with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Study design: a multicentric, prospective, crossover (2x2), double blind clinical study. Sample size: one hundred patients with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Patients in the period 1: In the first sequence 30 patients will be assigned to receive the ophthalmic solution: Krytantek Ofteno ® (timolol 0.5%%/brimonidine 0.2%/dorzolamide 2%) 1 drop B.I.D. during 30 days and the second sequence 30 patients will be assigned to receive the ophthalmic solution: PRO-122 1 drop B.I.D. during 30 days in the same period. Washout period: 20 hours. Patients in the period 2: the pharmacological intervention change to the opposite therapy for 30 days
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the BREMEN eye drops in the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma or intraocular hypertension.
Some people with Primary Open-angle Glaucoma (POAG) also suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), a common sleep disorder which is known to affect heart and blood vessels, and may contribute to glaucoma progression. Obstructive Sleep Apnoea is treated with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP); however using this type of breathing support may raise intraocular pressure (IOP). The evidence for this is limited and the potential mechanisms involved are poorly understood. In this study we will determine whether CPAP applied at night changes IOP and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP). We will also assess its possible impact on ocular microvasculature. Two groups of patients will be included: those with POAG and OSA, and those with OSA without glaucoma. They will attend for two overnight assessments: the first before starting CPAP and the second 4-6 weeks into the treatment. Repeated measurements of IOP at night will be performed and participants will continue self-measuring IOP at home in the day. An Ocular Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT Angiography) of the optic disc and the surrounding retina will be performed at baseline and after a few weeks of CPAP treatment.
The aim of this work is to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of preservative containing 0.0015% tafluprost and preservative-free 0.0015% tafluprost. Both preservative containing and preservative-free 0.0015% tafluprost will reduce intraocular pressure significantly. In addition, preservative-free 0.0015% tafluprost might improve tolerability of glaucoma patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ocular hypotensive effect of the Hydrus Aqueous Implant (Standard and Low-Profile), as determined by the change in IOP from baseline (preoperative) and change in the number of glaucoma medications from baseline.
Vitamin D deficiency is known to be significantly associated with high myopia. This study investigated the vitamin D status in patients with high myopia and primary open-angle glaucoma, in order to understand the relationship between high myopia and the development of primary open-angle glaucoma.110 primary open-angle glaucoma patients, 110 high myopia patients and 110 age-matched people in the Han population were enrolled. Serum levels of 1a, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 were measured by an enzyme-linked immuno-absorbent assay.Vitamin D receptor polymorphic analysis was studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique.
