Filter by:Mobility refers to a person's purposeful movement through the environment from one place to another and can be conceptualized as a continuum from bed bound (immobility) on one extreme to making excursions to distant locations on the other extreme. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic, progressive optic neuropathy that can lead to gradual loss of vision in the peripheral field and central vision. Older adults with POAG have an increased risk for motor vehicle collisions and falls. Moreover, existing studies suggest that patients with POAG exhibit more postural sway while standing as measured by a balance platform and also tend to walk more slowly than those who are normally sighted and free of ocular disease. While these disturbances likely influence mobility, there has been little research directly assessing the impact of POAG on mobility. This study will assess the impact of POAG on life space (one aspect of mobility) and will determine whether difficulties with life space are associated with difficulties experienced under conditions of dim lighting.
Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is an eye disease that causes optic nerve damage, visual field defect, and blindness caused by increased intraocular pressure. In recent years, many studies have shown that ginkgo biloba extract has a protective effect on the visual function of glaucoma patients. Studies have shown that Ginkgo biloba capsules can improve the visual field damage of glaucoma controlled by intraocular pressure;Ginkgo biloba capsule can promote the recovery of visual evoked potential of glaucoma controlled by intraocular pressure; the improvement of visual field has a certain correlation with visual electrophysiological recovery. The mechanism may be achieved by suppressing the influx of calcium ions and thereby inhibiting the apoptosis of cells. Therefore, in this clinical study, effect of Ginkgo biloba capsule on visual function of primary open-angle glaucoma with blood stasis syndrome was evaluated by placebo as control.
This prospective, concurrent controlled, open-label, multicenter study is designed to collect additional safety data through 5 years of follow-up for subjects randomized to either the treatment arm (PRESERFLO® MicroShunt with MMC) or the control arm (Trabeculectomy with MMC) of the INN-005 clinical study.
The purpose of this Phase 1b study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AKB-9778 ophthalmic solution (eye drops) administered for 7 days in adults. The study is a double-masked, multiple- ascending dose trial and will enroll four cohorts of up to 12 subjects. Dose cohorts will receive increasing doses of AKB-9778 ophthalmic solution or vehicle-matched placebo daily for 7 days. Cohort 5 will enroll subjects with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who will continue current prostaglandin therapy during the study. Cohort 5 subjects will receive the maximum tolerated dose from the previous cohorts.
The primary objective of this research is to compare the efficacy of trabecular minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices (iStent vs iStent Inject vs Hydrus) for intra ocular pressure (IOP) and anti-glaucoma medication reduction in open angle glaucoma.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Metformin could prevent the progression of glaucoma in a safe and effective manner.
The purpose of this study is to determine how the aqueous humor proteome changes after implantation of a Xen microstent for treatment of glaucoma.
Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the most important modifiable risk factor to prevent and delay progression of glaucoma. IOP reduction has been proven to delay the onset and progression of glaucoma, and uncontrolled IOP is constantly associated with progression of visual field loss. Medical therapy is the first line in IOP reduction for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG). It is a known fact that glaucoma patients often require addition of a second antiglaucoma medications when disease progresses or tachyphylaxis occurs. It was reported that more than 50% of patients require 2 or more medications to achieve optimum IOP control. Nevertheless, compliance and adherence are often impaired with multiple-drug therapy. Combining two ocular hypotensive agents in one bottle may help patients adhere to therapeutic regimen by reducing the number of medications used and the total number of doses administered.
The standard surgical treatment for glaucoma is trabeculectomy. The PRESERFLO™ (formerly InnFocus) Microshunt (IMS) is a new, minimally invasive drainage device which has been suggested to result in similar IOP lowering, but with faster visual recovery and less complications and postoperative interventions. The objective of this study is to aid in deciding on the use of the IMS in glaucoma surgery by assessing its efficacy and cost-effectiveness in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) compared to the standard trabeculectomy (TE).
This is a prospective, single-center, interventional, randomized controlled study comparing Decorin as antifibrotic agent in sub scleral trabeculectomy versus Mitomycin.
