Compare two glaucoma drainage devices and cornea effects
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical drainage devices used for glaucoma and looks at how they affect the clear front window of the eye (the cornea). It may help you understand which device is gentler on the cornea over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You can give informed consent (agree to take part after questions)
- You have open-angle glaucoma: primary open-angle, pseudoexfoliative, or pigmentary
- You have NOT had eye surgery inside the eye before (examples include cataract surgery, vitrectomy, or similar procedures)
- You do NOT have certain other serious eye problems (like active eye inflammation/uveitis or advanced diabetic eye disease)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether placing a glaucoma drainage device tube in the front part versus the back part of the eye better preserves the cornea’s inner cell layer. You might benefit by using a tube placement that could help keep the cornea clearer for longer after surgery.
This study compares a glaucoma drainage device approach to see which one better prevents loss of corneal cells after surgery. You may benefit by receiving close monitoring around the time of glaucoma surgery and helping doctors improve surgical choices.
This trial compares two types of glaucoma drainage devices (Baerveldt and Paul) in people whose glaucoma is not well controlled with eye drops. It aims to find which device works better at lowering eye pressure and is safer.
This study looks at how your eye's drainage angle changes after glaucoma surgery. It helps doctors understand what happens to the front part of your eye after procedures like laser or surgery to open the drainage area.
This trial tests two small drainage devices (PreserFlo and XEN stents) for glaucoma, sometimes with an amniotic membrane. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective at lowering eye pressure.
This trial compares three types of tissue grafts (sclera, pericardium, and cornea) used during certain glaucoma surgeries. It aims to find which graft works best to help control eye pressure.
