Measuring eye pressure at the end of vitrectomy surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study is looking at how eye pressure is measured at the end of vitrectomy surgery. Vitrectomy is a procedure to remove the gel inside the eye, and the study aims to see if the way pressure is measured during surgery is accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have a vitrectomy (eye surgery to remove the gel inside the eye) between June 25, 2024 and December 30, 2024.
- You do not have a complicated vitrectomy, such as one involving bleeding in the eye (choroidal or retrobulbar hemorrhage).
- You do not have an irregular cornea (the clear front part of the eye), such as from keratoconus, corneal scarring, swelling, or a transplant.
- You are not having a scleral buckle (a band placed around the eye) at the same time.
- You have not had prior glaucoma surgery like a trabeculectomy or tube shunt.

This study compares three different devices (Goldmann, Icare, and Accupen) to measure eye pressure after vitreoretinal surgery. It aims to find the most accurate and comfortable method for patients.
This trial tests ways to reduce discomfort during a test called scleral indentation, which presses on the outside of the eye to check for a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), a common age-related condition where the gel inside the eye pulls away from the retina. If you have PVD symptoms, this study might help find a gentler way to do the exam.
This study tests new ways to measure how well your eye sees after having cataract surgery with a special lens that helps with reading and distance. They'll take detailed measurements of your eye to improve future lens designs.
This study tests an updated device that measures eye pressure during a routine eye exam. It is for adults who are already coming in for a check-up and have no eye infections or scarring.
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 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.
