Primary angle-closure glaucoma

This study tests whether adding an extra step (a special blade to open drainage channels) to standard cataract-and-glaucoma surgery can better lower eye pressure in people with chronic angle-closure glaucoma and cataracts. About 68 adults will be randomly assigned to one of two s…

This study compares two surgical procedures for people with primary angle-closure glaucoma: Phaco-GSL (cataract surgery combined with a procedure to open the eye's drainage angle) and trabeculectomy (a standard glaucoma surgery that creates a new drainage pathway). Researchers wa…

This study will use advanced eye scans (OCT and OCTA) to compare the structure and blood flow of the choroid and retina in people with two main types of glaucoma: primary angle-closure disease and primary open-angle glaucoma. Researchers aim to better understand how these conditi…

This study looks at why some people with primary angle-closure glaucoma have loose eye lenses (zonular laxity). Researchers will compare molecules from 150 participants—those with and without this lens looseness, plus healthy controls—to find key differences. The goal is to bette…

This study looks at how tiny fibers in the eye, called the vitreous zonule, might play a role in causing primary angle-closure glaucoma, a serious eye condition. Researchers will use advanced 3D ultrasound to take detailed pictures of these fibers in 440 adults, including those w…
