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 tests a new surgical procedure (BANG) for people with open-angle glaucoma whose eye pressure stays high despite using drops. The goal is to see if the surgery helps open the eye's drainage angle.
This study compares two surgical drainage devices used for glaucoma and looks at how they affect the clear front window of the eye (the cornea). It may help you understand which device is gentler on the cornea over time.
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 trial compares two types of glaucoma surgery—trabeculectomy versus a different procedure that also opens the drainage angle—for people with advanced primary angle-closure glaucoma. It aims to see which surgery controls eye pressure and preserves vision better.
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.
