Laser before eye implant may prevent glaucoma damage
NCT ID NCT04232982
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving a laser treatment (transscleral cyclophotocoagulation) to lower eye pressure before a Boston keratoprosthesis (a plastic cornea implant) can prevent or slow glaucoma. Twenty adults who need the implant will receive one of two laser types 4-8 weeks before surgery and be followed for up to 5 years. The goal is to see if this approach reduces glaucoma progression and the need for additional treatments.
