New tool for glaucoma implant: easier placement?

NCT ID NCT07400926

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

Summary

This study tests a redesigned inserter for the travoprost implant, a tiny device placed inside the eye to lower pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. About 30 adults will receive the implant using the updated inserter. The main goal is to see if doctors can successfully follow the instructions and deliver the implant as intended.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make it easier and more reliable for doctors to place the travoprost implant, helping control eye pressure in glaucoma patients.
