Hereditary glaucoma

This study tests a small implant placed inside the eye to help drain fluid and lower pressure in people with open-angle or narrow-angle glaucoma. It is for adults whose eye pressure is not well controlled with eye drops. The main goal is to see if the implant safely reduces press…

This study tests a new device called the VividWhite Glaucoma Implant, which is surgically placed in the eye to help lower pressure in people with glaucoma. Sixty-five participants will be followed for 12 months to see if the implant safely reduces eye pressure and lessens the nee…

This study tests whether taking nicotinamide and pyruvate supplements can help protect the eyes of people with open-angle glaucoma. About 250 adults aged 35 to 85 will take either the supplements or a placebo for 20 months, while continuing their standard glaucoma medications. Th…

This pilot study tests whether placing a slow-release steroid insert (Yutiq) during glaucoma drainage surgery helps reduce scarring and keeps eye pressure lower. About 5 adults with glaucoma will receive the implant along with their surgery. Researchers will compare their pressur…

This study compares different ways of performing a laser treatment called selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) for people with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure. 400 participants will receive SLT using one of several protocols, and researchers will track how much their ey…

This study looks at the best way to repeat a laser treatment called SLT for people with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure. Researchers will compare different treatment methods in 400 participants who were already in an earlier SLT trial. The goal is to see how well repeat …

This study tests if a new, automated laser treatment (DSLT) works as well as the standard laser treatment (SLT) for lowering eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma. About 51 adults will receive one of the two treatments and be followed for 12 months. The goal is to see i…

This pilot study examines proteins in the vitreous (the gel-like fluid inside the eye) of patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX), a condition that can lead to glaucoma. Researchers will compare protein levels between eyes with and without PEX in 24 adults undergoing eye s…

This study offers free vision screenings to underserved adults over 40 living in affordable housing in Harlem and Washington Heights. The goal is to find eye problems like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy early and connect people with follow-up care. About 749 partic…
