Exfoliation syndrome
MONDO:0008327An autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the LOXL1 gene, encoding lysyl oxidase homolog 1. The condition is characterized by abnormal fibrillar extracellular material in anterior segment tissues, and may lead to glaucoma.
Also known as: XFG, XFS, pseudoexfoliation glaucoma

Can a tiny eye implant replace glaucoma drops?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis trial tests a new device called VividFlo, a small implant placed under the eye's surface to help drain fluid and lower pressure in people with glaucoma. The study involves 10 adults with glaucoma in one eye, who will receive the implant during surgery. Researchers will track…

Which eye implant best tames glaucoma? a head-to-head trial aims to find out.
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis trial compares two surgical implants—the Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant and the Paul Glaucoma Implant—in people with glaucoma that is not well controlled by eye drops. Both devices are tiny tubes placed in the eye to drain fluid and lower pressure. The study will track which imp…

Could insulin eye drops save your sight? new trial launches
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether insulin eye drops can protect the optic nerve in people with open-angle glaucoma. Researchers will give 90 participants either insulin drops or placebo daily for up to 12 months. The main goal is to check safety, but they will also measure vision changes …

New stitch technique aims to prevent dangerous low eye pressure after glaucoma surgery
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether placing a temporary stitch inside a tiny drainage device (Preserflo) can reduce the risk of dangerously low eye pressure after glaucoma surgery. The device is already used in France to lower eye pressure, but low pressure can still happen. About 192 adult…

Laser procedure could offer new hope for pseudoexfoliation glaucoma patients
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study tests a non-invasive laser procedure called direct selective laser trabeculoplasty (DSLT) in 40 adults with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. The goal is to see if the laser can safely lower eye pressure by at least 20% at 6 and 12 months. Participants will have their eye pr…

Can the eye's stiffness predict blurry vision after cataract surgery?
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study looks at whether the stiffness of the cornea influences how much astigmatism (blurring from an irregularly shaped cornea) develops after cataract surgery in people with pseudoexfoliation syndrome, a condition that weakens eye tissues. Researchers will measure corneal b…

Eye stiffness after cataract surgery: does pseudoexfoliation make a difference?
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study follows 70 adults aged 50 and older who are having routine cataract surgery. Half have pseudoexfoliation syndrome, a condition that can weaken eye tissues, and half do not. Researchers measure corneal stiffness before surgery and at several points afterward to see whet…

Eye drop showdown: could common glaucoma meds save more than sight?
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study looks at whether a common type of glaucoma eye drop (prostaglandin analogues) can protect the eye's nerve cells directly, not just by lowering eye pressure. Researchers will review medical records from 1500 adults with glaucoma over 3 years, comparing those on prostagl…
