Goniotomy surgery outcomes in children with congenital glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a surgery called goniotomy works for babies and children born with glaucoma (high eye pressure). Researchers will compare different surgical techniques to see which helps preserve vision best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have primary congenital glaucoma (glaucoma present from birth)
- You had goniotomy surgery (a procedure that opens drainage channels in the eye)
- You do not have other eye diseases like diabetes-related retinopathy, macular degeneration, or previous eye trauma
- You do not have serious health conditions like asthma, heart disease, kidney disease, or cancer
- You or your guardian can commit to scheduled follow-up appointments
- If you are a woman, you are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy soon

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 tests a new surgery that combines cataract removal with a glaucoma procedure to lower eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It's for people whose eye pressure is controlled with 1 to 4 medications but who also have significant cataracts.
This trial compares two types of glaucoma surgery—trabeculectomy versus a different procedure that also opens the drainage angle—for people with advanced primary angle-closure glaucoma. It aims to see which surgery controls eye pressure and preserves vision better.
This trial tests a surgery called GATT combined with goniosynechiolysis to treat glaucoma patients whose eye drainage angle is closed due to scarring. It aims to lower eye pressure when medicines alone aren't working.
This study compares two devices used during a combined cataract and glaucoma surgery (goniotomy). If you have open-angle glaucoma and are already planning cataract surgery, this trial may help your doctor choose the best tool for you.
This trial tests a surgery that combines cataract removal with a new technique to lower eye pressure in people who have both primary open-angle glaucoma and cataracts. It aims to see if this combined surgery is safe and effective.
