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 trial studies whether placing a glaucoma drainage device tube in the front part versus the back part of the eye better preserves the cornea’s inner cell layer. You might benefit by using a tube placement that could help keep the cornea clearer for longer after surgery.
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 study compares two surgical drainage devices used for glaucoma and looks at how they affect the clear front window of the eye (the cornea). It may help you understand which device is gentler on the cornea over time.
This study tests a new device called the VividFlo system that helps drain fluid from the eye to lower pressure in people with glaucoma. It's for people whose glaucoma has not responded to other treatments and who need surgery for better pressure control.
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.
