Which laser best tames glaucoma pressure?
NCT ID NCT07756411
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests three different laser trabeculoplasty methods—selective, micropulse, and pattern—in people with open-angle glaucoma who are already using eye drops to lower pressure. Each participant receives one 360-degree laser session, and the main goal is to see if the methods are equally effective at reducing eye pressure at 6 months. The study also tracks how much pressure drops, whether medication needs change, and any side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Laser trabeculoplasty (selective, micropulse, or pattern delivery)
- What this could lead to
- If one laser method proves better or equivalent, it could offer a more effective or safer way to control eye pressure and reduce reliance on daily glaucoma drops.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 90 patients, so results may not apply broadly. Laser treatment can cause temporary pressure spikes or inflammation, and the equivalence margin means differences might be small.
