Glaucoma Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from the ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• People who have a cataract that can be treated with surgery, where even with glasses or contact lenses their vision is still 20/40 or worse (meaning they would struggle to read a standard eye chart clearly)
• People who have been diagnosed with a common type of glaucoma called primary open angle glaucoma, and are currently managing it with no more than 4 eye drop medications to lower eye pressure
• People whose optic nerve (the nerve at the back of the eye) shows signs that are typical of glaucoma
• People whose eye pressure, while on medication, is 31 mmHg or below (mmHg is the unit used to measure pressure inside the eye)

Who may not be able to join:

• People who have a type of glaucoma where the drainage angle in the eye is closed or narrow (rather than open)
• People who were born with glaucoma or developed it during childhood
• People whose glaucoma was caused by another medical condition or eye problem (known as secondary glaucoma)
• People currently using more than 4 eye pressure-lowering medications
• People who have previously had certain laser or surgical treatments for glaucoma, including laser trabeculoplasty, trabeculectomy, tube shunts, or other similar drainage or pressure-reducing eye surgeries
• People who have previously had surgery that involved implanting a device into, or otherwise operating on, specific drainage structures inside the eye (confirm with trial site)
• There may be additional criteria not listed here that the trial site will assess

Important: Always verify eligibility with the trial site directly before applying.
