MIST device for lowering eye pressure in glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new device called MIST that is placed inside the eye to help lower eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option for those whose pressure is still too high despite using eye drops.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older.
- You have mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma that is not well controlled with at least one eye drop.
- Your eye pressure is 18 mmHg or higher while using eye drops.
- Your cornea (the clear front part of your eye) is healthy, and you have enough healthy tissue in the upper part of your eye where the device will be placed.
- You have not had any prior glaucoma surgery in the eye that will be treated.
- You are not pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, and (if female of childbearing age) you use reliable birth control.

This trial is testing a small device called the PRESERFLO MicroShunt to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option if your eye pressure stays high even with maximum eye drops.
This study enrolls people who have cataracts and primary open-angle glaucoma that is being treated with eye drops. It will look at how well the Hydrus microstent works after approval, especially for lowering eye pressure safely.
This study tests whether measuring your eye pressure at home with a special device can help control glaucoma and slow its progression. It may offer a more convenient way to track your condition between doctor visits.
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 surgical system for people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option if you are having cataract surgery or have already had it, and your eye pressure is not well controlled with medications.
This study tests a specific eye laser treatment (micropulse) for people with open-angle or pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. It may help lower eye pressure, and the study also checks whether patients can follow the treatment plan and follow-up visits.
