Best tissue for glaucoma drainage implant
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares three different tissues used to cover the tiny drainage device implanted during glaucoma surgery to prevent scarring. It aims to find which tissue works best to keep eye pressure low over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to be scheduled for glaucoma surgery using a PreserFlo microshunt or XEN stent, either alone or with cataract surgery.
- You must be willing and able to give consent and come to follow-up visits.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You cannot have had certain previous eye procedures like trabeculectomy, tube shunt, scleral buckle, or cyclodestruction.
- You cannot have certain eye conditions like active iris neovascularization or vitreous in the front of the eye.

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 looks at whether two types of tiny drainage stents (PreserFlo and XEN) work safely to lower eye pressure in glaucoma. Some patients will also receive an amniotic membrane (a thin tissue that helps healing) during the surgery, and researchers will compare outcomes.
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 trial tests a new suture method during glaucoma surgery with the Preserflo device to reduce the risk of low eye pressure after the operation. It may help people with certain types of glaucoma who need surgery because their eye pressure is not controlled by medications.
This trial studies outcomes after certain minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries, including the Preserflo microshunt. It may help improve how safely and effectively glaucoma surgery is done, and how patients are followed afterward.
This study compares two types of eye surgery to lower pressure in the eye from glaucoma. It aims to find which surgery works better for people having their first glaucoma operation.
