Eye pressure changes after iStent surgery with a contact lens sensor
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a tiny implant (iStent inject W) that helps lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma. A special contact lens sensor will monitor your eye pressure after surgery. The goal is to see how well the implant works and how it changes your eye pressure throughout the day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (high eye pressure)
- You have not had any eye surgery in the past, except cataract surgery done at least 6 months ago
- Your untreated eye pressure was over 21 mmHg (your doctor can confirm)
- Your best corrected vision is worse than 20/65 and your glasses prescription is weaker than -6.00 diopters
- You are planning glaucoma surgery with iStent inject W (with or without cataract surgery) OR you need cataract surgery and are on glaucoma eye drops for the control group

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a small stent to help drain fluid from the eye and lower pressure in people who have both open-angle glaucoma and cataracts. The stent is placed during routine cataract surgery.
This trial studies a tiny implant called iStent Infinite that helps drain fluid from the eye to lower pressure in people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It may offer a new way to manage the condition.
This trial studies a new treatment (a tiny device called iStent Infinite and a medication implant) for people with moderate to severe open-angle glaucoma who have not responded well to drops or laser. The goal is to see if this treatment can lower eye pressure and help avoid traditional surgery.
This trial tests a new device that measures eye pressure without touching the eye. It may help people with or without glaucoma by making it easier to check eye pressure regularly.
This trial tests a tiny implant that slowly releases travoprost (a pressure-lowering medicine) inside the eye, combined with a small stent (iStent) to help drain fluid. It's for people with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure who need to lower their eye pressure.
This study uses a special camera (Brillouin microscopy) to measure how stiff your cornea is. It compares people with different types of glaucoma to those without glaucoma, helping researchers understand the link between corneal stiffness and eye pressure.
