Trial of a new surgery for glaucoma not helped by eye drops
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new minimally-invasive surgery called MIMS to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma that isn't well controlled even with multiple eye drop medications. The surgery makes a tiny opening to help fluid drain and reduce pressure in the eye.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 85 years old
- You have open-angle glaucoma that is not well controlled, with eye pressure between 21 and 40 mmHg despite using multiple eye drops
- You have vision loss from glaucoma (visual field damage) and damage to the optic nerve
- You have healthy, movable tissue (conjunctiva) in the area where the surgery would be done
- If you have had certain prior glaucoma surgeries (like iStent or Trabectome), it must have been more than 6 months ago
- You can attend all follow-up appointments and agree to take part in the study

This study is a retrospective chart review looking at eyes that received treatment with the MIMS device. It helps doctors understand how this treatment worked in the past.
This study is checking on people who had a specific eye surgery called MIMS at least two years ago. It aims to see how they are doing over time.
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 is testing a small device called the PRESERFLO MicroShunt to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option if your eye pressure stays high even with maximum eye drops.
This trial looks at whether placing a small glaucoma implant at the same time as cataract surgery can better control eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It may help reduce the need for medicines or improve control, depending on how your eyes respond.
This study tests a new device called MIST that is placed inside the eye to help lower eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option for those whose pressure is still too high despite using eye drops.
