Eye tests before glaucoma surgery study
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how well certain eye tests work for people with glaucoma or high eye pressure before they have surgery. It aims to improve the way doctors measure and track glaucoma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 90 years old.
- You need a diagnosis of glaucoma or high pressure in the eye (ocular hypertension)
- You must be planning to have glaucoma surgery.
- You need to be able to stop using your glaucoma eye drops for a short time before surgery, as long as your doctor says it's safe.
- You must not be allergic to fluorescein, a yellow dye sometimes used in eye tests.
- You must be able to understand English well enough to complete the study tests.

This study compares how different types of glaucoma surgery affect your daily life and well-being. If you need glaucoma surgery, you may join to help doctors understand which procedure works best from a patient's perspective.
This study evaluates imaging techniques to diagnose glaucoma, a condition that can damage the optic nerve and affect vision. It aims to improve detection of early glaucoma, especially in people with elevated eye pressure or suspicious optic nerve findings.
This study tests a new quick procedure called trabeculopuncture to see if it can predict whether a more involved glaucoma surgery (ab interno trabeculectomy) will work for you. If you have a specific type of glaucoma, high eye pressure despite drops, and need cataract surgery, this trial might help lower your pressure and reduce medications.
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 study measures how eye pressure and standard eye-function tests perform in people with normal eyes, higher eye pressure, or early signs of glaucoma. It may help researchers understand who is at risk and how best to monitor eye health before or during glaucoma.
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.
