Testing a Reading Module to Improve Reading Skills and Quality of Life in Glaucoma Patients

The goal of this interventional study is to test the effectiveness of reading rehabilitation module towards reading speed and error, and quality of life in glaucoma patients.The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is there a significant difference in reading speed over a 6-month period between glaucoma patients who undergo a reading rehabilitation module and those who receive standard care? 2. To what extent does the implementation of a reading rehabilitation module reduce the frequency of reading errors in glaucoma patients compared to a control group across baseline, 3-month, and 6-month follow-ups? 3. How does a structured reading rehabilitation module influence the self-reported quality of life in glaucoma patients from baseline to 6 months when compared to those receiving standard care? Participants will: Patients in interventional group will be instructed to practice the reading module for 20-30 minutes daily, minimum 3 days/week, for 6 months. Visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups and tests A logbook will be provided to record their practice sessions. While participants in control group will receive standard care, visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups and tests.

Comparison of Phaco Surgery With Goniosynechialysis Versus Trabeculectomy in Glaucoma Treatment

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis (Phaco-GSL) is as effective and safe as trabeculectomy in treating patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Phaco-GSL provide similar or better intraocular pressure (IOP) control compared to trabeculectomy? * What are the rates of postoperative complications or adverse events between the two surgical approaches? * How do the two procedures compare in terms of visual acuity recovery and need for glaucoma medications? Researchers will compare Phaco-GSL to trabeculectomy to determine which procedure offers better overall outcomes for patients with angle-closure glaucoma. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to undergo either Phaco-GSL or trabeculectomy Attend scheduled follow-up visits at regular intervals (e.g., 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months) for eye exams and pressure checks

Trabeculectomy Versus Peripheral Iridectomy Plus Goniotomy in Advanced PACG

A multicenter, parallel, open, non-inferior randomized controlled trial is conducted to compare the effectiveness and safety of trabeculectomy and peripheral iridectomy plus goniotomy (TVG) in the treatment of advanced primary angle closure glaucoma with no or mild cataracts.
