Trial studying safety and effects for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
Official title Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety and Performance of the MIST Device for Intraocular Pressure Reduction in Patients With Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07358650
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study will see if the MIST device is safe and works to reduce eye pressure in people with this type of glaucoma.
- Who it's for
- Adults 40 years or older with primary open‑angle glaucoma whose pressure is not controlled by eye‑drop medicines, one eye treated.
- What's involved
- Participants receive a single MIST procedure (first five done in an operating room, the rest at a clinic slit‑lamp) and then have eye exams and pressure checks at scheduled visits.
- Time commitment
- Follow‑up lasts 12 months with visits the next day, at 1 week, and at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the procedure.
