Eye changes after glaucoma angle surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have glaucoma and are going to have a surgery that opens the drainage angle of your eye (like laser, scar tissue removal, or a drainage procedure).
- You can have the required eye exams before surgery, including special scans and a detailed exam of the front part of your eye.
- You are willing to join the study, sign a consent form, and come back for follow-up visits for 12 months after surgery.
- You do not have severe eye conditions like infection, ulcer, injury, tumor, or a detached retina.
- You are not using steroid eye drops or pills long-term, and you are not pregnant or nursing.

This study tests a new surgery that combines cataract removal with a glaucoma procedure to lower eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It's for people whose eye pressure is controlled with 1 to 4 medications but who also have significant cataracts.
This study uses advanced eye imaging (OCT and OCTA) to understand how the blood vessels and tissue layers in the back of the eye differ between people with glaucoma, people at risk for angle-closure glaucoma, and people with healthy eyes. The findings may help doctors better diagnose and understand these eye conditions.
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.
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.
This study looks at people with a type of narrow-angle glaucoma who are having cataract surgery combined with a procedure to open the eye's drainage area. It aims to see if doctors can predict a complication called partial ciliary block, which can cause high eye pressure after surgery.
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.
