Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Effects of Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Reduction on Ocular Perfusion

    To determine if IOP reduction improves ocular perfusion. Change in IOP reduction will be measured in mmHg.

    Subjects will be evaluated on enrollment (pre-operatively) and at post-operative visits ( 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24-months post-op).

Study Arms (1)

Trabeculectomy or Tube Shunt Patients

46 glaucoma patients undergoing trabeculectomy or tube shunt surgery to lower IOP

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

This study will measure blood flow changes in 46 glaucoma patients undergoing trabeculectomy or shunt surgery to lower IOP.

You may qualify if:

  • Subjects diagnosed with perimetric open angle glaucoma or chronic angle closure glaucoma.
  • Subjects scheduled to undergo trabeculectomy or tube shunt surgery

You may not qualify if:

  • Best-corrected visual acuity less than 20/40
  • Age \< 18 or \>85 years
  • Refractive error of \> +3.00 D or \< -7.00 D
  • Previous vision correction surgery such as Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) or Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)
  • Previous intraocular surgery except for uncomplicated cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation
  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • History of heart failure, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack or stroke
  • Other diseases that may cause VF loss or optic disc abnormalities
  • Inability to clinically view or photograph the optic discs due to media opacity or poorly dilating pupil
  • Inability to perform reliably on automated VF testing
  • Life-threatening or debilitating illness making it unlikely patient will successfully complete the study.
  • Refusal of informed consent or of commitment to the full length of the study
