First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a device called the ELIOS System to safely lower eye pressure in adults with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. The procedure is done alone, without other surgeries, and aims to reduce pressure by at least 20% while possibly using fewer medications. Researchers are checking how well it works and if it is safe for patients.

Active substance

ELIOS System (device)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new, less invasive procedure to control eye pressure in glaucoma patients, potentially reducing reliance on daily eye drops.

What could go wrong

This is an early feasibility study with only 22 participants, so results may not apply to all glaucoma patients. The procedure may not lower pressure enough or could have unexpected side effects.
