Predicting success of a glaucoma surgery with a quick test
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have primary open-angle glaucoma, pigmentary glaucoma, or pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (types of glaucoma).
- Your eye pressure must still be too high even when using the maximum number of glaucoma drops.
- You have signs of worsening glaucoma damage, like thinning of the optic nerve or loss of side vision.
- You need cataract surgery and also want to lower eye pressure or use fewer glaucoma drops.

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.
This trial compares cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) versus a laser treatment (SLT) as the first treatment for pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. It aims to find which approach lowers eye pressure and helps prevent progression for people with early disease and cataracts.
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 trial compares two glaucoma operations to see which works better at lowering eye pressure and keeping the eye stable. It’s for adults with open-angle glaucoma who are eligible for either surgery and can attend follow-up visits.
This trial tests whether a special cannula can help protect the eye during combined surgery for pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (a type of glaucoma with flaky deposits) and cataracts. It may offer better results than standard irrigation.
This trial looks at how well a specific type of surgery (ab-interno 120° trabeculotomy) works for people with pigmentary glaucoma. It aims to understand the safety and effectiveness by tracking eye pressure and vision over time.
