Suture technique to reduce pressure drop after glaucoma surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have primary open-angle, pseudoexfoliative, or pigmentary glaucoma.
- Your eye pressure is not controlled or your vision is getting worse despite taking 3 or more eye drop medications (or fewer if you can't tolerate them).
- You have not had eye surgery before, except cataract surgery.
- You have a healthy, mobile conjunctiva (the clear tissue covering the white of the eye) without scarring.
- Your cornea thickness is between 490 and 620 micrometers.
- You do not have neovascular glaucoma or other eye diseases (except cataracts).

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 study looks at whether two types of tiny drainage stents (PreserFlo and XEN) work safely to lower eye pressure in glaucoma. Some patients will also receive an amniotic membrane (a thin tissue that helps healing) during the surgery, and researchers will compare outcomes.
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.
This study compares three different tissues used to cover the tiny drainage device implanted during glaucoma surgery to prevent scarring. It aims to find which tissue works best to keep eye pressure low over time.
This study compares a glaucoma drainage device approach to see which one better prevents loss of corneal cells after surgery. You may benefit by receiving close monitoring around the time of glaucoma surgery and helping doctors improve surgical choices.
This study tests a new tube-based surgery to lower eye pressure in people with advanced or difficult-to-treat open-angle glaucoma. The goal is to see if this surgery works better than standard care for controlling pressure and preserving vision.
