Long-Term Results After Ab-interno Trabeculotomy for Glaucoma

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a single-center observational study evaluating long-term outcomes after ab-interno trabeculotomy (AIT) using the Trabectome in glaucoma patients. It uses a retrospective pre-operative baseline with a prospective cross-sectional follow-up visit to assess intraocular pressure, visual acuity, anterior chamber angle, and optic nerve structure. Participants undergo about 30 minutes of assessments including IOP measurement, gonioscopy, slit-lamp exam, and OCT imaging, all within routine care. No additional follow-up beyond the single study visit is required.
