Comparing two glaucoma drainage devices for eye pressure control
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of glaucoma drainage devices (Baerveldt and Paul) in people whose glaucoma is not well controlled with eye drops. It aims to find which device works better at lowering eye pressure and is safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have glaucoma or high eye pressure that eye drops cannot control, with pressure of 16 mmHg or higher.
- You are scheduled to have a drainage device (shunt) placed in your eye to lower pressure.
- You do not have other eye conditions that would prevent the surgery, like previous similar surgery, silicone oil in the eye, or need for other eye surgery at the same time.
- You are not pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant during the trial.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two surgical drainage devices used for glaucoma and looks at how they affect the clear front window of the eye (the cornea). It may help you understand which device is gentler on the cornea over time.
This trial tests two small drainage devices (PreserFlo and XEN stents) for glaucoma, sometimes with an amniotic membrane. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective at lowering eye pressure.
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 trial tests a tiny implant called Preserflo to treat glaucoma (high eye pressure) that hasn't been controlled with eyedrops. The surgery aims to lower pressure safely while avoiding complications like pressure that drops too low.
This trial tests a new implant that releases medicine for glaucoma while you have cataract surgery. It may help lower eye pressure without using daily drops.
This study tests a new device called the VividFlo system that helps drain fluid from the eye to lower pressure in people with glaucoma. It's for people whose glaucoma has not responded to other treatments and who need surgery for better pressure control.
