Glaucoma Trial, Recruiting

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

Who might be able to join this trial:

• You have a cataract that is affecting your vision and you are already planning to have cataract surgery.
• You have been diagnosed with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma, including types called pigmentary glaucoma or pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.
• Your glaucoma is classified as "mild," meaning the nerve damage and vision test results meet specific measurements set by the trial (confirm with trial site).
• Your glaucoma is classified as "moderate," meaning your vision test results fall within a specific range of measurements set by the trial (confirm with trial site).
• Your eye pressure (measured in a standard eye clinic test) is between 10 and 31 mmHg while using your glaucoma medications, at the time surgery is being planned.
• You are willing and able to understand the study and sign a consent form agreeing to take part.
• You are willing and able to attend all follow-up eye appointments required by the study schedule.

Who may not be able to join:

• You have previously had certain laser treatments for glaucoma, such as argon laser trabeculoplasty, laser peripheral iridotomy, or a laser treatment targeting the eye's drainage area (cyclophotocoagulation), or you have had glaucoma surgery involving incisions.
• You had a specific type of laser glaucoma treatment (selective laser trabeculoplasty) within the last 90 days.
• The drainage angle inside your eye is blocked or closed over a large portion (confirm with trial site).
• You have scar tissue in a specific part of the drainage angle inside your eye (confirm with trial site).
• Even with the best glasses or contact lenses, your vision is worse than 20/200 (very limited vision).
• Your eye lens appears to be loose or wobbly during the pre-surgery examination (confirm with trial site).
• There is gel from inside your eye that has moved into the front part of your eye, found during the pre-surgery examination (confirm with trial site).
• You have an unusually small eye (a condition called nanophthalmos).
• You are taking blood-thinning or anti-clotting medications, unless it is only low-dose aspirin (81mg daily).
• You are currently being treated for another eye condition in either eye, such as receiving injections for a retinal condition or using steroids after a cornea transplant.
• There is something unusual about the eye being studied that could affect how eye pressure is measured (confirm with trial site).
• Your glaucoma is a type other than those listed above, including a type called normal tension glaucoma.
• You have a condition that raises pressure in the blood vessels around your eye, such as Sturge-Weber syndrome, Graves' disease, or a tumour behind the eye.
• You have a history of eye inflammation (uveitis) in either eye.
• It is not possible to carry out a standard eye examination to look at the drainage angle of your eye.
• You have taken steroid tablets in the last 90 days, or you are expected to need steroid tablets during the study.
• You take certain oral medications that can affect eye pressure, including tablets such as acetazolamide or methazolamide.
• You have previously had a rise in eye pressure caused by steroids.
• You are not well enough to attend the planned study visits.
• You are currently taking part in another research study that involves a medical treatment or intervention.
