Direct vs standard laser for glaucoma: which works better?
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure (ocular hypertension).
- Your eye's drainage angle is open, confirmed by a special exam.
- You can follow study instructions and attend follow-up visits.
- You have not had eye surgery in the past 6 months.
- Your eye pressure is 35 mmHg or lower with treatment.

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.
This study compares two different devices used during cataract surgery to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma. It aims to see which device works better and is safer.
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 which of two micro-surgeries for glaucoma works better when you're also having cataract surgery. It may help you if you have both cataracts and glaucoma and take eye drops to control eye pressure.
This study compares a new way of doing laser treatment for open-angle glaucoma versus the standard method. The goal is to see which approach works better at lowering eye pressure and protecting vision.
This trial compares two first treatments—laser therapy (SLT) or daily eye drops (latanoprost)—to lower eye pressure in people newly diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure. It aims to find which approach works better as an initial therapy.
