ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the long-term results of glaucoma stent surgery to understand how often the stents are positioned incorrectly and how this affects eye pressure after surgery. It's specifically looking at patients who are 18 years or older and have had cataract and microstent surgery in the last two years at the Moran Eye Center. The researchers want to see if the experience level of the surgeons makes a difference in how well the stents are placed and how effectively they lower eye pressure.

If you qualify for this study, you would have a one-time visit to the clinic for an eye exam and a special imaging test called Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). During this visit, the team will check the position of your stent and look at important eye structures. They will also review your medical history from the past two years to gather information about your care and the results of your surgery. This study is open to all adults with glaucoma who have had specific types of stents placed, but it excludes those who had their stents removed or have certain eye injuries.
