Comparing two eye surgeries for glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having your first glaucoma surgery on the affected eye.
- You are able to cooperate well during the procedure.
- You are willing to take part in the study.
- Your target eye pressure is not very low.
- You have not had prior glaucoma surgery in the same eye.
- You do not have corneal decompensation or juvenile glaucoma.

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 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 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 study compares two different devices (MINIject® and Hydrus® Microstent) used in microinvasive glaucoma surgery, both done at the same time as cataract surgery. It aims to find which one works better at lowering eye pressure.
This study compares two types of drainage implants (Baerveldt and Paul) to see which one works better at lowering eye pressure in people with glaucoma. If your glaucoma is not controlled with eye drops or other treatments, this trial may help find a more effective option.
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.
