This study compared two types of tube shunts (Baerveldt 350 and Ahmed ClearPath 250) used to lower eye pressure in people with glaucoma. Researchers measured how well each device controlled eye pressure over time. The study included 80 adults with uncontrolled glaucoma who needed…

This study tested whether a daily oral solution containing citicoline and nicotinamide (Kron®) could improve eye function in 30 people with moderate open-angle glaucoma. Participants had controlled eye pressure but still had vision loss. The study measured electrical activity in …

This study followed 150 people with glaucoma that was not controlled even after previous surgery or medication. Researchers used the XEN implant to help lower eye pressure and tracked results over time. The goal was to see how well the implant works and what complications may ari…

This study tested a new, less invasive surgery called MIMS for people with glaucoma who need surgery to control eye pressure. 23 adults with open-angle or related glaucomas took part. The goal was to see if MIMS lowers eye pressure as well as traditional surgery but with fewer co…

This study tested a special lens implant that slowly releases medication to lower eye pressure in people with cataracts and glaucoma or high eye pressure. 24 participants received the implant during cataract surgery and were followed for 6 months. The goal was to see if the impla…

This study tested a new eye drop called QLS-111 in 37 adults with normal tension glaucoma, a type of glaucoma where eye pressure is not very high but still damages the optic nerve. The goal was to see if QLS-111 is safe and tolerable compared to a standard eye drop (timolol). Res…

This study tested two different strengths of a new eye drop called T4090 against an existing drop, Rhopressa, in 161 adults with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure. The goal was to see which one lowers eye pressure better and is safer. Participants used the drops for a set …

This study looked at 70 adults with mild to moderate glaucoma or high eye pressure. Researchers compared using Rocklatan eye drops versus artificial tears after a standard laser treatment (SLT) to see which better lowers eye pressure. The goal was to improve long-term control of …

This study looked at how well a special laser (MP-TSCPC) works for people with glaucoma. The goal was to lower eye pressure and reduce the need for eye drops. 65 patients were followed for one year after the laser procedure.

This study compared two surgical methods for glaucoma: a standard trabeculectomy and a newer 'micro' version. Researchers measured how well each surgery lowered eye pressure and how often complications occurred in the first 3 months after surgery. 100 adults with glaucoma who wer…

This study tested a new contact lens device 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 pictures every 15 minutes while awake. Researchers compared the lens readings …

This study tested a computer program called VeriSee GLC that looks at photos of the back of the eye to find signs of glaucoma. Researchers used 773 images from adults to see how well the AI could spot people who might have the disease. The goal is to help doctors decide who needs…

This study tested a personalized coaching program for people with glaucoma who struggle to use their eye drops as prescribed. 236 adults received either coaching from a trained non-physician coach or standard care with extra handouts. The goal was to see if coaching improves how …

This study tested whether playing music helps children with glaucoma pay better attention during visual field exams. 38 children took part, and researchers measured how often they missed signals or got distracted. The goal was to see if music could make the test more reliable and…

This study tested whether a simple, in-office app could help glaucoma patients better remember their eye drop schedule. Twenty participants who used multiple eye drops were split into two groups: one used the app, the other did not. After one month, researchers checked how accura…

This study surveyed 379 eye clinic patients in Pakistan to find out how much they know about glaucoma, a disease that can cause permanent blindness without warning. The goal was to identify gaps in awareness and misconceptions. Results will help doctors create better education pr…

This study involved 59 adults with glaucoma or high eye pressure to understand why some people respond better to eye pressure-lowering drugs. Researchers measured eye fluid production, drainage, and vein pressure before and after treatment. The goal is to find biomarkers that hel…

This study looked at how holding your breath changes pressure inside the eye. Forty breath-hold divers had their eye pressure, oxygen levels, heart rate, and blood pressure measured before, during, and after a breath-hold. The goal was to understand these changes and how they mig…

This study tested a new eye imaging device called the P200TE in 53 adults with glaucoma. The goal was to see how many clear images the device could capture of the back of the eye. The study did not test any treatment, only the device's ability to take pictures.

This study looked at how the structure of the eye relates to vision in 60 people with glaucoma. Researchers used eye scans and vision tests to measure nerve thickness and blood vessel density. The goal was to better understand how glaucoma affects sight, not to test a new treatme…

This study tested different methods to find eye diseases like cataracts and glaucoma in communities to prevent blindness. Over 87,000 people aged 50 and older in Nepal took part. Communities were randomly assigned to one of four approaches: a full eye screening, cataract camps, c…

This study compared three different machines that measure side vision in people with glaucoma. 54 adults with good eyesight completed one visit to test each device. The goal was to see which machine is faster and gives more reliable results.

This study looked at how well two different eye imaging machines measure the thickness of retinal layers in people with glaucoma. Researchers scanned 141 eyes with both the Topcon Maestro2 and Zeiss Cirrus 5000 to see if their results matched. They also created formulas to conver…

This study followed 326 people newly diagnosed with glaucoma or high eye pressure for up to 4 years. Researchers measured how many developed worsening vision during routine care. The goal was to understand the natural course of early glaucoma, not to test a new treatment.
