New vs. standard laser for open-angle glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares a new way of doing laser treatment for open-angle glaucoma versus the standard method. The goal is to see which approach works better at lowering eye pressure and protecting vision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older.
- You have open-angle glaucoma (including pigmentary or exfoliative types) or ocular hypertension (high eye pressure without damage).
- You have not had any previous laser treatment for glaucoma in either eye.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares a direct laser treatment to the standard laser for glaucoma or high eye pressure. It aims to see if the direct method is just as effective and possibly safer.
This trial tests a laser treatment called DSLT in people recently diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma who have never had any other glaucoma treatment. It aims to see how well the laser lowers eye pressure.
This trial tests a new type of laser treatment (DSLT) for patients with glaucoma or high eye pressure who have already had a similar laser treatment (SLT) before. The goal is to see if this new laser approach can lower eye pressure in patients where the first treatment may not have worked well enough.
This study tests a new laser treatment called DSLT for people who have just been diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or a similar condition like ocular hypertension. It aims to see if the laser can lower eye pressure by at least 20% after six months without needing any eye drops.
This trial compares two first treatments—laser therapy (SLT) or daily eye drops (latanoprost)—to lower eye pressure in people newly diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure. It aims to find which approach works better as an initial therapy.
This trial tests a laser treatment called DSLT to see how it affects eye pressure changes over 6 months. It may help people with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure who are currently using 0 to 3 types of pressure-lowering eye drops.
