What this trial studies

This registry aims to collect real-world data on the MINIject device used for treating open angle glaucoma. It focuses on three main objectives: assessing the usability of the device, gathering patient-reported outcomes, and monitoring device safety over a two-year period following surgery. The data collected will help understand the effectiveness and safety of the MINIject in everyday clinical practice.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this registry are adults aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with open angle glaucoma and have received or will receive the MINIject implant.

Not a fit: Patients with angle closure glaucoma or other specific types of glaucoma, as well as those unable to provide consent, may not benefit from this registry.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could provide valuable insights into the long-term safety and effectiveness of the MINIject device for patients with open angle glaucoma.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies on minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries have shown promising results, indicating that this approach may be effective, although this specific registry is focused on post-market data collection.
