Inside the eye: new imaging study tracks healing after glaucoma surgery
NCT ID NCT06492538
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses special cameras to watch how eye tissues heal after minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. Researchers will follow 300 glaucoma patients to measure changes in the eye's drainage angle over time. The goal is to learn more about healing patterns and help improve future surgeries.

Inclusion Criteria: * Glaucoma patients eligible for standalone or combined angle intervention surgeries, such as LPI, LPIP, goniosynechialysis, trabeculotomy alone or combined with surgical iridectomy or phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation; * Patients capable of undergoing preoperative examinations including CASIA2-OCT (anterior segment OCT), UBM, slit-lamp gonioscopy, IOL Master (or other optical biometry); * Patients willing to participate in this study, signing informed consent, and agreeing to follow-up according to the study protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with severe ocular conditions such as corneal infection, ulcer, trauma, ocular tumors, retinal vascular occlusion, and retinal detachment; * Those with various types of eye diseases that affect ocular parameter acquisition or interfere with visual field examination; * Long-term local or systemic use of glucocorticoids; * Patients with severe systemic diseases; * Pregnant or lactating women; * Unable to complete 12-month postoperative follow-up.
