Clinical trial for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG)
Official title Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) for Reducing Eye Pressure in Non-Caucasian Patients With Open Angle Glaucoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07147647
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study checks if a laser procedure lowers eye pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma. It compares eye pressure before the treatment to pressure six months later.
- Who it's for
- Adults who are not of Caucasian descent and have a condition called primary open-angle glaucoma.
- What's involved
- Participants will have a laser treatment on one or both eyes. They will also come to the clinic for check-ups to measure their vision and eye pressure.
