This study tests a new eye drop called BL1107 against a standard treatment (timolol) in 252 adults with glaucoma or high eye pressure. The goal is to see if BL1107 is safe and improves vision better than the current option. Participants will use the drops for about a month and ha…

This trial tests a tiny implant called MINIject for people with open-angle glaucoma, a common eye disease. The goal is to safely lower high pressure inside the eye, which can damage vision. About 975 adults who have had cataract surgery are taking part. The study measures how wel…

This study follows 23 people who received a special lens implant that slowly releases glaucoma medication during cataract surgery. Researchers want to see if the implant keeps eye pressure low and vision clear for up to 7 years. Participants already completed an earlier study and…

This study tests a new treatment for glaucoma, a disease that damages the optic nerve and can lead to blindness. Researchers implant tiny capsules that release a protein to protect nerve cells. Thirty adults with moderate to advanced glaucoma will receive either the implant or a …

This study tests a tiny implant placed in the eye that releases helpful cells to protect vision in people with glaucoma. 54 participants will either get the implant or a sham procedure. Researchers will check if it slows vision loss and nerve damage over 6 months. This is an earl…

This study looks at whether combining two minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) works better than cataract surgery alone to lower eye pressure. Researchers will review records of 100 people with open-angle glaucoma who had both procedures and were followed for three years.…

This study tests a new surgical implant, the VividWhite Glaucoma Implant, in 65 people with glaucoma. The goal is to see if it safely lowers eye pressure and reduces the need for eye drops. The implant is designed to help control the disease, not cure it.

This pilot study tests whether placing a slow-release steroid implant (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 eye pr…

This early study tests a new drainage device for glaucoma that can adjust itself. The goal is to safely lower eye pressure in people whose glaucoma is not controlled by eye drops. Ten adults with advanced glaucoma will be followed after surgery to check for complications and pres…

This study tests soft contact lenses with built-in sensors that measure eye pressure continuously for 24 hours. Researchers want to see if these smart lenses are accurate and comfortable for people with glaucoma and healthy adults. The goal is to improve glaucoma care by catching…

This study tests whether long-term, mild electrical stimulation applied through the eye socket can safely slow vision loss in people with open-angle glaucoma. About 45 adults with moderate vision damage will use a home device daily. The goal is to see if the treatment improves th…

This study tests whether a computer-based AI tool can teach glaucoma patients how to perform a visual field test more reliably. The test checks side vision, which is important for monitoring glaucoma, but many patients find it confusing. If the tool works, it could lead to fewer …

This study measures how well healthy people see test points of light in their side vision. The data will be used to train an artificial intelligence system to make future eye exams more accurate. About 100 healthy adults aged 18 and older with good vision will participate. No tre…

This study looks at 116 adults who had glaucoma stent surgery in the past two years. Researchers use a special eye scan to check if the tiny stents are in the right place and how that affects eye pressure. The goal is to learn how often stents are mispositioned and what that mean…

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. Participants get two screenings a year apart to track t…

This study looks at how patients with chronic eye diseases like glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy are doing after their treatments. Researchers will follow 300 adults who had an eye procedure in the last 6 months to measure changes in eye …

This study tests whether AI-assisted software helps eye doctors diagnose four common eye diseases more accurately and quickly. Ten eye doctors and residents will review eye images with and without AI help. The goal is to see if AI improves diagnosis and saves time.
