Eye exam after new glaucoma surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial uses a special ultrasound to look at the eye after a certain type of glaucoma surgery. It helps doctors see how well the surgery is working for people with open-angle glaucoma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have open-angle glaucoma (the most common type).
- You have had a specific kind of glaucoma surgery called combined deep sclerectomy with trabeculotomy.
- Your eye is clear enough for a detailed ultrasound exam.
- You have not had any other glaucoma filter surgery in the same eye before.
- Your glaucoma is not caused by another condition like injury or inflammation.
- You do not have other serious eye problems that would affect the ultrasound results.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects eye fluid and tissue samples during planned cataract or combined cataract-glaucoma surgery to analyze differences between people with and without glaucoma. It may help researchers understand eye disease better.
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 study looks at how your eye's drainage angle changes after glaucoma surgery. It helps doctors understand what happens to the front part of your eye after procedures like laser or surgery to open the drainage area.
This research study uses ultrasound imaging to examine the internal structures of the eye in people with angle-closure glaucoma (a type of increased eye pressure) and compares them to healthy eyes. Understanding these structures may help doctors better diagnose and treat this eye condition.
This study looks at how well certain eye tests work for people with glaucoma or high eye pressure before they have surgery. It aims to improve the way doctors measure and track glaucoma.
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.
