Glaucoma drainage device for hard-to-treat glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a posterior chamber drainage device for people with glaucoma that is not controlled by eye drops, especially those who have already had cataract surgery. It aims to help lower eye pressure safely and prevent further vision loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have glaucoma that is not controlled with standard medications.
- You have had cataract surgery with an artificial lens implant.
- You are willing to attend follow-up appointments after the procedure.
- You do not have serious corneal disease or other eye conditions that could affect the procedure.

This study tests a new device to lower eye pressure in people with hard-to-control glaucoma. It is for those who have not had success with other treatments and have open-angle or traumatic glaucoma with high eye pressure.
This study compares a glaucoma drainage device approach to see which one better prevents loss of corneal cells after surgery. You may benefit by receiving close monitoring around the time of glaucoma surgery and helping doctors improve surgical choices.
This trial compares two different tiny drainage devices (a gel stent and a microshunt) for lowering eye pressure in people with certain types of glaucoma that are not well controlled with medications. The goal is to see which device works better and is safer.
This trial is testing a new device (VividFlo) to lower eye pressure in people with stubborn glaucoma that hasn't been controlled by other treatments. It aims to see if the device works and is safe for creating a new drainage route in the eye.
This study compares two types of drainage implants (Baerveldt and Paul) to see which one works better at lowering eye pressure in people with glaucoma. If your glaucoma is not controlled with eye drops or other treatments, this trial may help find a more effective option.
This study compares two different devices used during cataract surgery to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma. It aims to see which device works better and is safer.
