Laser treatment for lowering eye pressure in Black patients with glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a laser procedure called DSLT to reduce eye pressure in Black patients with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It aims to see if this treatment works well as a first step before using eye drops.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are of Black African descent.
- You have been diagnosed with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma.
- You have not had any prior glaucoma surgeries or laser treatments.

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 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 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 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.
This trial is testing a laser treatment called DSLT to see if it can help people with glaucoma use fewer eye drops. It may be a good option if your eye pressure is already controlled with medication and you haven't had glaucoma surgery before.
This study tests whether a laser treatment helps keep eye pressure stable in people with early glaucoma or high eye pressure who have not used any eye drops or medications before. It may be a good option if you are looking for a treatment that doesn't require daily eye drops.
