Angle-closure glaucoma

Researchers at Assiut University are studying whether combining cataract surgery with a procedure called goniotomy safely lowers eye pressure and reduces the need for glaucoma medications. The trial enrolls 70 adults with cataract plus either primary open-angle or primary angle-c…

This study tests whether removing the ripcord from a glaucoma drainage device more than 3 months after placement lowers eye pressure. Adults with glaucoma who have had the ripcord in place for over 3 months will have it removed during a routine clinic visit. Researchers will meas…

This trial tests a new device called VividFlo, a small implant placed under the eye's surface to help drain fluid and lower pressure in people with glaucoma. The study involves 10 adults with glaucoma in one eye, who will receive the implant during surgery. Researchers will track…

This trial compares two surgical implants—the Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant and the Paul Glaucoma Implant—in people with glaucoma that is not well controlled by eye drops. Both devices are tiny tubes placed in the eye to drain fluid and lower pressure. The study will track which imp…

This trial investigates whether a 12-week home-based circuit training program can reduce intraocular pressure and improve retinal health in people with glaucoma. Participants are randomly assigned to either the exercise program plus standard care or standard care alone. The study…

This trial tests whether a structured reading rehabilitation module can improve reading speed and reduce errors in people with glaucoma, a condition that often impairs vision. Participants will practice the module for 20-30 minutes daily, at least 3 days a week, for 6 months. The…

This study looks at people with primary angle-closure glaucoma who need a specific type of eye surgery. The goal is to find out which patients are at higher risk for a rare but serious complication called ciliary block, where fluid builds up in the wrong part of the eye. Research…
