Anesthesia choices for eye pressure and safety in glaucoma surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (propofol and sevoflurane) to see how they affect eye pressure and blood flow during a procedure called cyclophotocoagulation, which treats glaucoma. If you are scheduled for this eye surgery, the study helps find the safest anesthesia option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in generally good health or have a mild illness that is well controlled (ASA I to III).
- You do not have known allergies or bad reactions to the anesthetic drugs propofol or sevoflurane.
- You do not have unstable chest pain (angina) or heart failure that causes symptoms.
- Your doctor has not said that placing a breathing tube during surgery would be difficult.

This study compares different numbing medicines (additives) mixed with lidocaine to see which works best for pain relief during eye surgery. All patients will receive a numbing injection around the eye (peribulbar block) to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
This study compares different types of general anesthesia by checking how your pupils (the black part of the eye) respond after surgery. It may help doctors understand which anesthesia options are better for eye-related side effects after planned ear, nose, or throat operations.
This study looks at how much anesthesia is needed during outpatient cataract surgery. It may help find the right approach for your comfort and safety.
This study compares three ways to give anesthesia during laparoscopic hysterectomy: one type of gas (sevoflurane) with or without a lidocaine IV drip, versus a different IV anesthesia (propofol). The goal is to see which approach best protects pressure inside your head and oxygen levels in your brain during surgery.
This study compares different ways to help you relax during cataract surgery while your eye is numbed with drops. It aims to find the safest and most comfortable sedation approach.
This study compares two ways of managing the airway (breathing tube vs. a laryngeal mask) during anesthesia for congenital glaucoma surgery in children, to see which keeps blood pressure and eye pressure more stable. Participation may help doctors choose safer anesthesia methods for children with this condition.
