Laser treatment for normal-tension glaucoma in Asian eyes
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a new laser treatment called DSLT for people with normal-tension glaucoma, a type of glaucoma where eye pressure is normal but vision is still damaged. It aims to lower eye pressure and help preserve vision. The study is specifically for people of Asian descent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be of Asian descent
- You must have normal-tension glaucoma, meaning your eye pressure is normal (below 21 mmHg) but your optic nerve is damaged
- Your visual field loss must be mild to moderate (a measure called mean deviation between 0 and -12 dB)
- Your eye pressure must be controlled with 1 to 3 eye drops, and you must be able to safely stop taking them temporarily for the procedure
- You must not have had certain eye surgeries (except cataract surgery more than a year ago)
- You must not have other eye diseases that cannot be cured

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 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 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.
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 tests how well a laser treatment called selective laser trabeculoplasty works in people with open-angle glaucoma. It looks at results over 12 months to see if it helps lower eye pressure.
This study compares a direct laser treatment to the standard laser for glaucoma or high eye pressure. It aims to see if the direct method is just as effective and possibly safer.
