Observing the positioning of glaucoma microstents after surgery

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 observational study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of glaucoma microstent surgery in adults who have also undergone cataract surgery within the last two years. Participants will undergo a one-time eye exam and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to assess the positioning of microstents and the dilation of Schlemm's canal. Researchers will analyze medical records to gather data on surgeon experience and the effectiveness of the surgery based on changes in intraocular pressure. The study seeks to determine the frequency of microstent mispositioning and its impact on intraocular pressure post-surgery.

Why it matters
