Filter by:It has been shown that reactions of human retinal photoreceptors to a light stimulus can be measured with custom-made, research prototype optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems. This can be used as a biomarker for the function of the photoreceptors. Due to the high technical demands on the system, however, the technique is currently not available for clinical purposes. In this pilot study a protocol to measure changes in retinal photoreceptor layer thickness before and after light stimulation shall be developed based on a commercial OCT system and newly developed algorithms. Other variables, such as circadian processes shall be investigated as well. After measurements in healthy volunteers, the protocol is planned to be applied in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to test for feasibility of the method in these patient groups.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) for retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) is done before and after cataract extraction in patients with or without primary open angle glaucoma (POAG)
This prospective, interventional, randomized clinical study was done at Alpha Vision Center, Zagazig, Egypt. Patients with coexisting cataract and glaucoma were randomized to receive either phaco-viscocanalostomy (Phacovisco group) or phaco-viscocanalostomy with Ologen® implant (OloPhacovisco group) . Follow-up period was 2 years. Nd:YAG laser goniopuncture was done in cases where the intraocular pressure (IOP) was elevated above 21 mmHg after discontinuation of corticosteroid eye drops at any follow-up visit. Our hypothesis is that using Ologen® implant as a spacer in the subscleral reservoir in phaco-viscocanalostomy reduces fibrosis and increase the success rate of this operation
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of CKD-351.
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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and performance of the ARGOS-IO system in patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG)
This study aims to evaluate the effect of a single session of micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT) on cornea in eyes with primary open glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG).
- To evaluate prospectively the surgical outcome in terms of intraocular pressure control, potential advantages, disadvantages, success rate, complications and bleb morphology of this modified trabeculectomy with an extended subscleral tunnel (ESST) in comparison to the conventional subscleral trabeculectomy (SST) in management of uncontrolled primary open angle glaucoma. - This study will recruit 40 eyes of (40) candidate patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) who are indicated for surgery. - The candidate patients will be recruited into 2 equal comparative groups. In group (A) 20 eyes (20 patients) who will undergo conventional (SST) with intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC) (0.03%) and group (B); 20 eyes of 20 patients will undergo trabeculectomy with an ESST also with intraoperative adjunctive MMC (0.03%).
TJO-002 or Acitve Control was administered on primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension patients for 12 weeks. This clinical trial study has hypothesize TJO-002 administration groups are not inferior to Active control administration groups.
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.
