UBM Evaluation After Combined Deep Sclerectomy With Trabeculotomy in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma

Primary open-angle glaucoma is a chronic optic neuropathy that often requires surgical intervention when medical treatment fails. Deep sclerectomy is a non-penetrating glaucoma surgery that aims to reduce intraocular pressure while minimizing complications. When combined with trabeculotomy, additional aqueous outflow may be achieved. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) allows detailed imaging of the anterior segment and provides valuable information about postoperative anatomical changes that cannot be assessed clinically. This observational study aims to evaluate UBM findings after combined deep sclerectomy with trabeculotomy in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and to correlate these findings with clinical outcomes.

Comparison of Goniotomy Device Outcomes in Combined Phacoemulsification-goniotomy Surgeries

The goal of this study is to determine of one of three different devices to perform goniotomy to treat glaucoma at the time of cataract surgery is more or less effective than the others. The primary outcomes are to compare intraocular pressure control and glaucoma medication use up to 6 months after surgery. Participants will under combined cataract surgery and goniotomy. They will have post-operative follow up visits at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 month

Evaluation of BRUDYGLAUCO (DHA + Citicoline) in Patients With Glaucoma

This study aims to evaluate the effects of BrudyGlauco, a nutritional supplement containing DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and citicoline, on visual function in people with glaucoma. Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy that can lead to vision loss. Current treatments focus on lowering eye pressure, but there are other pathogenic factors and the use of additional therapies that could protect or regenerate the optic nerve would be beneficial. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and multicenter clinical trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either BrudyGlauco or a placebo for 12 months. The study will assess changes in visual field, safety, and treatment adherence. The trial is being conducted at the Institut Català de Retina (ICR) and Hospital de la Esperanza. Participants will undergo regular eye exams, visual field tests, and follow-ups to monitor potential improvements in visual function. The results of this study will help determine if BrudyGlauco can provide neuroprotective benefits for people with glaucoma and improve their quality of life.

Efficacy and Safety of HUC3-637 in Patients With Primary Open Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension

A multicenter, randomized, single-blind, active controlled, phase III clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HUC3-637 in patients with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension

Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) for Reducing Eye Pressure in Non-Caucasian Patients With Open Angle Glaucoma

The goal of this clinical trial is to to evaluate how well Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) lowers eye pressure in eyes of adult, non-Caucasian participants with primary open angle glaucoma. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the washed out eye pressure (eye pressure when not on any glaucoma medications) of participants 6 months after the Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) procedure compared to the washed out eye pressure of participants prior to the DSLT procedure. Participants will: Undergo the DSLT procedure in one or both eyes and visit the clinic 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the procedure to have their vision and eye pressure measured.

Association Between Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Gene Polymorphism and Susceptibility to Primary Open Angle Glaucoma Patients in Sohag University Hospital

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the potential association between MMP-9 gene polymorphism and susceptibility to Primary Open Angle Glaucoma development in Egyptian patients The main question it aims to

A Real-World Evidence Study of Goniotomy With the C-REX™ Instrument in Patients With Primary Open Angle Glaucoma

This study enrolls adults with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) who underwent goniotomy intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering surgery with the C-Rex Instrument. Patients are consented prior to surgery and followed for 12 months postoperatively. Data regarding IOP, use of glaucoma medications, and any device-related complications are collected during the study time period.

A Study Investigating Oral Semaglutide in People with Open-Angle Glaucoma

The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate whether oral semaglutide can be used to treat open-angle glaucoma. The main question it aims to answer is: Does oral semaglutide safely improve inner retinal function in patients with open-angle glaucoma as measured by the photopic negative response of the electroretinogram. Researchers will compare oral semaglutide to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug). Participants will: * Take semaglutide or a placebo every day for 6 months. * Visit the clinic 5 times in total for tests and interviews: At baseline (the first day they are included in the study), after 1 month, after 2 months, after 3 months, and after 6 months (the last day they are included in the study).
