A new glaucoma surgery: Preserflo versus trabeculectomy
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of glaucoma surgery to see which one works better for people with specific kinds of open-angle glaucoma whose eye pressure isn't controlled by eye drops or laser.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 22 years old.
- You have primary open-angle glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma, pigment-dispersion glaucoma, or pseudoexfoliative glaucoma.
- Your glaucoma is not well controlled with the strongest medications you can take.
- Your visual field test (MD) shows at least -3 decibels of damage.
- Your eye pressure is between 14 and 28 mmHg.
- You have at least 1000 endothelial cells per square millimeter in your cornea.

This trial compares two different tiny drainage devices (a gel stent and a microshunt) for lowering eye pressure in people with certain types of glaucoma that are not well controlled with medications. The goal is to see which device works better and is safer.
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 trial tests a new suture method during glaucoma surgery with the Preserflo device to reduce the risk of low eye pressure after the operation. It may help people with certain types of glaucoma who need surgery because their eye pressure is not controlled by medications.
This study compares two types of eye surgery to lower pressure in the eye from glaucoma. It aims to find which surgery works better for people having their first glaucoma operation.
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 trial studies outcomes after certain minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries, including the Preserflo microshunt. It may help improve how safely and effectively glaucoma surgery is done, and how patients are followed afterward.
