Ultrasound imaging after glaucoma eye surgery to predict success

What is this trial?

This study is looking at patients who have already had a type of glaucoma surgery called combined deep sclerectomy with trabeculotomy. Researchers will use a special ultrasound camera to take detailed pictures of the front part of your eye after the surgery to understand how the surgical changes are healing and what helps predict the best outcomes.

Doctors want to learn which anatomical changes after this surgery are most likely to mean the surgery will work well and help control eye pressure. Better understanding of these patterns could help improve the surgery in the future.

Do you qualify?

You likely qualify if…

you have been diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma, including juvenile forms
you have already undergone combined deep sclerectomy with trabeculotomy surgery
your eye's structures are clear enough for ultrasound imaging to work properly
you are willing to give written consent to participate

You likely don't qualify if…

you have secondary glaucoma caused by other conditions like diabetes, uveitis, or eye injury
you have had previous glaucoma filtering surgery in the same eye
you have other eye problems that would interfere with the ultrasound imaging, such as severe corneal scarring

What participation looks like

You would visit the research center after your glaucoma surgery has already been completed. Researchers will use an ultrasound biomicroscopy machine to take detailed images of your eye's front structures and measure your eye pressure and current glaucoma medications. They will compare these imaging findings with your surgical outcomes to understand what predicts success.
