Hereditary glaucoma

This pilot study tests a new laser device for treating open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. The device uses a laser through the sclera (the white of the eye) to lower eye pressure, avoiding the need for a lens to touch the cornea. Researchers will check how safe the proce…

This study looks at a modified surgical technique for children with primary congenital glaucoma, a condition that causes high eye pressure and can lead to blindness if untreated. The surgery combines two procedures to create a better drainage channel for fluid inside the eye. Res…

This study tested a small implant called Supraflow v2.2 in 57 adults with open-angle or narrow-angle glaucoma. The implant is placed inside the eye to help drain fluid and lower eye pressure. The goal was to see if it safely reduces pressure and the need for daily eye drops over …

This study tested a new, less invasive surgery called MIMS for people with glaucoma. The goal was to see if it lowers eye pressure as well as traditional surgery but with fewer side effects. 23 adults with glaucoma took part. The results will help doctors understand if MIMS is a …

This study compares two visual field tests used to monitor glaucoma: the current standard Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer and the newer iCare COMPASS. About 28 people with glaucoma or related eye conditions will take both tests in the same visit, with the order alternating between…

This study tested a new smart contact lens called miLens that records eye pressure patterns over 24 hours in 86 adults with glaucoma and healthy volunteers. Participants wore the lens in one eye and took smartphone readings every 15 minutes while awake. Researchers compared the l…

This study aims to measure how common glaucoma is among people aged 50 and older in the Bangkoknoi district of Bangkok, Thailand. Researchers will examine about 1,470 volunteers using standard eye tests and advanced imaging to detect signs of glaucoma and gather normal eye measur…

This study examined whether pseudoexfoliation syndrome (an eye condition) is related to carpal tunnel syndrome (a wrist nerve problem). Researchers measured blood markers in 159 adults aged 50-80. The goal was to see if these conditions share a common cause, not to test a treatme…

This study looked at 120 children with glaucoma or suspected glaucoma who needed eye exams under anesthesia. The goal was to see if a standard anesthesia plan could produce consistent and reliable eye pressure measurements. Researchers measured how deep the anesthesia was and com…

This study tested whether a simple app, available in English, Spanish, and Cantonese, could help glaucoma patients better remember their multiple eye drop schedules. Twenty participants either used the app or received standard instructions. After one month, researchers compared h…

This study followed 250 children under 4 years old with congenital glaucoma in France. Researchers wanted to see if finding the disease earlier leads to better eyesight at age 4. They measured vision and eye pressure to understand how timing of diagnosis affects long-term outcome…
