Bevacizumab eye injections for neovascular glaucoma
This study compares two ways of giving the medicine bevacizumab in the eye: into the front part (intracameral) versus deeper inside (intravitreal). It aims to see which approach better controls neovascular glaucoma and helps vision, especially when surgery (trabeculectomy) is needed.
Hat Yai, Changwat SongkhlaAges 18 years+ - NCT03752840Recruiting
Community eye-worker program in Nepal
This trial tests a village-based approach to bring eye care closer to older community members. If you live in the right area and are willing to participate, it may help improve access to eye screening and services.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT03921931Recruiting
Test retinal responses to light in healthy eyes or eye disease
This is a small pilot study that measures how parts of the retina change before and after light stimulation. It may help researchers understand eye function in people with normal vision or specific eye conditions like glaucoma or dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT03933631RecruitingPhase 3
Pilocarpine eye drops after glaucoma drainage surgery
This trial tests whether pilocarpine eye drops work better after a specific glaucoma surgery called Kahook goniotomy done at the same time as cataract surgery. It may help lower eye pressure and support better glaucoma control after surgery.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 30–100 - NCT04553523Recruiting
Hydrus microstent study for open-angle glaucoma with cataracts
This study enrolls people who have cataracts and primary open-angle glaucoma that is being treated with eye drops. It will look at how well the Hydrus microstent works after approval, especially for lowering eye pressure safely.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 45 years+ - NCT04024293Recruiting
Testing a pressure-sensing contact lens for glaucoma and OHT
This study compares a special contact lens that measures eye pressure with standard eye-pressure testing. It may help people with glaucoma or ocular hypertension by improving how pressure is monitored.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT04129021Recruiting
Eye imaging test with fast detailed scans
This trial studies whether a new, very high-resolution and high-speed eye scan can be used for people with eye problems or for healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better “see” eye structures more clearly to guide care.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT04232982Recruiting
Cyclophotocoagulation during Boston keratoprosthesis eye surgery
This trial looks at whether a specific eye laser treatment done through the white of the eye (called transscleral cyclophotocoagulation) works well and is safe for people getting a Boston keratoprosthesis. It may help improve comfort and vision outcomes for selected patients needing this type of cornea/eye replacement surgery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–80 - NCT04846140Recruiting
Non-invasive brain stimulation to help side vision in glaucoma
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can improve peripheral (side) vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It targets people whose central vision is still relatively preserved but whose side vision has a measurable “gap” on vision testing.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT04957329RecruitingPhase 4
Latanoprost eye drops: with or without preservative
This study compares two versions of latanoprost eye drops—one that contains a preservative and one that is preservative-free. It aims to see how each version affects the eye’s “goblet cells,” which help keep the eye surface healthy.
Glostrup Municipality, DanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT04967989RecruitingPhase 3
Laser eye treatment timing for certain glaucoma or eye pressure
This Phase 3 study tests how best to use a laser treatment (SLT) for people with high eye pressure or mild-to-moderate primary open-angle glaucoma. It aims to find the best way to lower eye pressure and protect vision while comparing treatment approaches.
Laguna Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05163951Recruiting
Surgery comparison for advanced angle-closure glaucoma
This trial compares two types of glaucoma surgery—trabeculectomy versus a different procedure that also opens the drainage angle—for people with advanced primary angle-closure glaucoma. It aims to see which surgery controls eye pressure and preserves vision better.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 45–80 - NCT05344274RecruitingPhase 4
Eye blood flow study in people with glaucoma
This study measures how blood flows in the retina and how well the eye regulates that flow. It compares people with early or very early glaucoma to people without glaucoma to see what differences may predict progression.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT05370287Recruiting
Adaptive-eye imaging for adults with primary open-angle glaucoma
This study uses a special “adaptive optics” camera to take very detailed pictures of the retina (the light-sensing layer at the back of the eye). It is meant for adults with primary open-angle glaucoma to improve how well the images can be captured and studied.
Silver Spring, MarylandAges 21 years+ - NCT05523622Recruiting
Testing a new eye pressure measuring device
This study compares a new device (TonoVera) against other common tools used to measure eye pressure. It may help show whether the new device gives accurate readings and is practical for routine eye exams.
Buffalo, New YorkAges Any age - NCT05563623Recruiting
Study of people at risk for angle-closure progression
This study follows people who have eye anatomy that suggests a higher risk of angle closure, but who do not currently have high eye pressure or glaucoma damage. It aims to understand how often and how fast this risk can progress, which may help guide earlier monitoring or prevention.
Beijing, BeeijingAges 40–75 - NCT05694858RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Numbing patch comparison before blood draw for eye care
This trial tests a numbing skin patch made with tiny microneedles against a standard numbing cream/patch to reduce pain before a blood draw. It may help you feel less discomfort during venepuncture before an eye procedure.
Kuala Lumpur, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT05885022Recruiting
Testing a glaucoma device during eye surgery planning
This study checks whether the Calibreye System can be used safely and effectively for people with certain types of glaucoma. It may help doctors better assess the eye before treatment, especially for selecting the right surgical approach.
ChennaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06017362RecruitingPhase 4
Insulin drops for dry eye in glaucoma patients
This study tests whether insulin eye drops can safely help dry eye in people who also use eye drops for glaucoma. It may offer a new option if you have both conditions and your eye pressure is stable.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06066645RecruitingPhase 4
Travoprost implant plus iStent for glaucoma
This trial tests a tiny implant that slowly releases travoprost (a pressure-lowering medicine) inside the eye, combined with a small stent (iStent) to help drain fluid. It's for people with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure who need to lower their eye pressure.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06128720Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for optic nerve damage
This study tests if breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help people with optic neuropathy, a condition that damages the nerve connecting the eye to the brain.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06201455Recruiting
Glaucoma surgery study for people with controlled eye pressure and cataracts
This study tests a new surgery that combines cataract removal with a glaucoma procedure to lower eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It's for people whose eye pressure is controlled with 1 to 4 medications but who also have significant cataracts.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–85 - NCT06243497Recruiting
Comparing eye fluid and tear markers before and after UCP
This study compares levels of inflammatory markers (cytokines) in the fluid inside your eye and your tears before and after a procedure called UCP (ultrasound cycloplasty) to treat glaucoma. It aims to understand how the eye responds, which may lead to better treatments for high eye pressure.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06591117Recruiting
Study of a new eye implant for stubborn glaucoma
This study tests a new device to lower eye pressure in people with hard-to-control glaucoma. It is for those who have not had success with other treatments and have open-angle or traumatic glaucoma with high eye pressure.
