VisiPlate implant for hard-to-control open-angle glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device called VisiPlate that is placed in the eye to help lower pressure for people with hard-to-control open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option if standard treatments haven't worked well enough.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have open-angle, pseudoexfoliative, or pigmentary glaucoma (not angle-closure or other types).
- Your eye pressure is between 20 and 40 mmHg at a pre-surgery visit.
- You have moderate to severe vision loss (visual field test score of -3 dB or worse).
- You have enough healthy, movable tissue in the upper part of your eye where the implant will go.
- You have not had any eye surgery before, except for a simple cataract removal.
- You do not have other serious eye conditions like corneal disease, retinal disease, or recent eye infection.

This trial is testing a new way to deliver a medication (travoprost) directly into the eye using a small implant. It's for people with open-angle glaucoma and aims to see how well the updated inserter works.
This trial tests a surgery that combines cataract removal with a new technique to lower eye pressure in people who have both primary open-angle glaucoma and cataracts. It aims to see if this combined surgery is safe and effective.
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 looks at whether placing a small glaucoma implant at the same time as cataract surgery can better control eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It may help reduce the need for medicines or improve control, depending on how your eyes respond.
This trial tests a new implant that releases medicine for glaucoma while you have cataract surgery. It may help lower eye pressure without using daily drops.
This trial studies whether a canaloplasty device is safe and effective for people with open-angle glaucoma who are planning cataract surgery. It may help lower eye pressure when using eye drops is being reduced or stopped.
