Studying glaucoma treatments before surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study is looking at people with glaucoma or high eye pressure who are about to have glaucoma surgery. The goal is to understand more about their condition and how it responds after stopping their usual eye drops for a short time before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have glaucoma or high eye pressure that needs surgery (like trabecular meshwork or other glaucoma surgery).
- You are willing to stop your glaucoma eye drops for a short period before surgery (if your doctor says it's safe).
- You can understand English well enough to give consent and complete study tasks.
- You have not had cataract surgery if you need a special eye test (fluorophotometer).

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 tracks changes in blood flow, structure, and vision over time in people with glaucoma or high eye pressure. It aims to understand how these conditions progress, which could help improve future treatment.
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 people with glaucoma or high eye pressure to understand how surgeries and laser treatments affect long-term outcomes. It may help doctors predict which treatments work best for different patients.
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 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.
