Summary

This study tests a new device called the VividWhite Glaucoma Implant, which is surgically placed in the eye to help lower pressure in people with glaucoma. Sixty-five participants will be followed for 12 months to see if the implant safely reduces eye pressure and lessens the need for medication. The goal is to offer a long-term treatment option for this common eye condition.

Active substance

VividWhite Glaucoma Implant (VW-51) – a small device surgically placed in the eye to help drain fluid and lower pressure.

What this could lead to

If successful, this implant could provide a new way to control eye pressure and reduce the need for daily eye drops in people with glaucoma.
