Testing a tube implant surgery for certain glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial studies a glaucoma operation that uses an Ahmed valve tube implant. It may help people whose eye pressure is not well controlled with current treatments by comparing outcomes of this specific surgical approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your glaucoma (or ocular hypertension) is not controlled enough
- The planned surgery for you is an Ahmed valve tube implant
- Your glaucoma type fits (primary open-angle/angle-closure, pseudoexfoliation, pigmentary, or traumatic)
- You can sign consent and come to regular follow-up visits

This study tests a new tube-based surgery to lower eye pressure in people with advanced or difficult-to-treat open-angle glaucoma. The goal is to see if this surgery works better than standard care for controlling pressure and preserving vision.
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 trial tests a surgery that combines cataract removal with a new technique to lower eye pressure in people who have both primary open-angle glaucoma and cataracts. It aims to see if this combined surgery is safe and effective.
This trial studies whether a canaloplasty device is safe and effective for people with open-angle glaucoma who are planning cataract surgery. It may help lower eye pressure when using eye drops is being reduced or stopped.
This trial tests a surgical system for people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option if you are having cataract surgery or have already had it, and your eye pressure is not well controlled with medications.
This trial tests a new implant that releases medicine for glaucoma while you have cataract surgery. It may help lower eye pressure without using daily drops.
