Eye protein changes in angle-closure glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study examines how proteins in the eye lens support structures change in patients with angle-closure glaucoma. Researchers will compare these proteins in people with glaucoma who have loose or normal support structures during surgery, and in people without glaucoma having cataract surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 50 or older
- Clinically diagnosed with primary angle-closure glaucoma (a type of glaucoma where the eye's drainage angle narrows)
- Undergoing glaucoma surgery or cataract surgery
- No previous eye surgery
- No systemic diseases (whole-body conditions) that affect eye lens supports
- Not taking long-term medications that affect connective tissue

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 people with a type of narrow-angle glaucoma who are having cataract surgery combined with a procedure to open the eye's drainage area. It aims to see if doctors can predict a complication called partial ciliary block, which can cause high eye pressure after surgery.
This trial compares two types of eye surgery—one that removes the cataract and opens blocked drainage channels, and another that creates a new drainage pathway. It aims to find which works better for people with both glaucoma and cataracts.
This study combines cataract surgery with a procedure to improve fluid drainage in the eye, which may help lower eye pressure in people with glaucoma. It aims to see if this combined approach is safe and effective for both open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma.
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 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.
