Preventing angle closure glaucoma in Danish patients
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a laser treatment to prevent a type of glaucoma called angle closure. It is for people who have a narrow drainage angle in the eye but do not yet have glaucoma or other serious eye conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a narrow drainage angle in the eye (180 degrees or more) but normal eye pressure (below 21 mmHg) and no damage from glaucoma.
- Your best corrected vision is better than 20/25 in both eyes.
- You are of Caucasian ethnicity.
- You have not had cataract surgery or laser iridotomy before.
- You do not have significant cataracts needing surgery, glaucoma, uveitis, or other unstable eye conditions.
- You are not currently using steroid eye drops or taking steroid medications for your eyes or body.

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 tests how well a laser treatment called selective laser trabeculoplasty works in people with open-angle glaucoma. It looks at results over 12 months to see if it helps lower eye pressure.
This trial compares two types of eye surgery—one that removes the cataract and opens blocked drainage channels, and another that creates a new drainage pathway. It aims to find which works better for people with both glaucoma and cataracts.
This trial tests a special laser treatment called Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) for people with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, a type of glaucoma that can be harder to treat. The treatment aims to lower eye pressure and may help delay or avoid the need for daily eye drops.
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 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.
