Comparing eye pressure measurement methods in children with glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to measure eye pressure (tonometers) in children with glaucoma. One is a handheld device that gently taps the eye, and the other is a traditional device that touches the eye. The goal is to see which method works better for children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with glaucoma.
- You do not have a scarred cornea (clear front part of the eye).
- You are a patient at a pediatric glaucoma clinic.

This study compares a new device (TonoVera) against other common tools used to measure eye pressure. It may help show whether the new device gives accurate readings and is practical for routine eye exams.
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 trial compares two types of glaucoma drainage devices (Baerveldt and Paul) in people whose glaucoma is not well controlled with eye drops. It aims to find which device works better at lowering eye pressure and is safer.
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.
This study compares a special contact lens that measures eye pressure with standard eye-pressure testing. It may help people with glaucoma or ocular hypertension by improving how pressure is monitored.
This study looks at different ways to measure how glaucoma affects your vision over time by comparing visual field results. It may help researchers find better models to track progression so treatment decisions can be made more accurately.
