Ultrasound Imaging Study After Combined Deep Sclerectomy and Trabeculotomy Surgery for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

What this Trial Is About

This research focuses on primary open-angle glaucoma, a chronic eye condition that often needs surgery when medications are not enough. It aims to study detailed ultrasound images of the eyes front part after a combined surgical procedure called deep sclerectomy with trabeculotomy. The study seeks to understand the anatomical changes after surgery and how they relate to patient outcomes. Patients who have undergone the combined deep sclerectomy with trabeculotomy surgery are observed using ultrasound biomicroscopy UBM, a non-invasive imaging technique. UBM is used to examine the intrascleral lake, filtering bleb, and other eye structures after surgery. The study collects clinical data such as eye pressure and the number of glaucoma medications needed, correlating these with the UBM findings to identify predictors of surgical success. Participants will be evaluated at 3 and 6 months after surgery with UBM imaging and clinical assessments including intraocular pressure measurements and medication tracking. The study monitors anatomical and functional outcomes to better understand the effects of this combined surgery. The total participation includes postoperative follow-up visits for detailed imaging and clinical evaluation to assess safety and effectiveness.
