Brief summary
Glaucoma is the most common cause of irreversible blindness in the world, affecting more than 70 million worldwide, of whom approximately 7 million are blind. The only proven treatment for glaucoma is to lower intraocular pressure (IOP). There are various treatment options for lowering IOP including medicine, laser, or surgery. More recently, new minimally invasive surgical devices and procedures have been introduced that aim to lower IOP and reduce dependence on medical therapy and/or avoid the need for invasive surgery. The International Glaucoma Surgery Registry (IGSR) is an observational, non-interventional, study of people who have undergone or are going to have a laser or surgical procedure for glaucoma. The inclusion criteria are a history of glaucoma or ocular hypertension requiring treatment with a laser or surgical procedure. The registry only collects information and does not influence the choice of treatment in any way. As part of routine clinical care, data will be collected on patients undergoing glaucoma procedures annually for 5 years or more with the goal of providing high-quality longitudinal data on outcomes, treatments patterns, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness. The IGSR aims to make a major contribution to understanding the clinical effectiveness of glaucoma procedures, as well as guiding evidence-based decision making and providing data to support future clinical trials.
Interventions
The registry is a non-interventional, observational study of patients who have undergone, or are scheduled to undergo, a laser or surgical procedure for the management of glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Patients are managed according to standard of care and local procedures/policies without input from the registry. It is not anticipated that there will be any change to glaucoma management with participation in the registry.
Patients with a history of conventional glaucoma filtration surgery,
The registry is a non-interventional, observational study of patients who have undergone, or are scheduled to undergo, a laser or surgical procedure for the management of glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Patients are managed according to standard of care and local procedures/policies without input from the registry. It is not anticipated that there will be any change to glaucoma management with participation in the registry. Patients with a history of conventional glaucoma filtration surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, laser/ultrasound procedures, or other novel interventional technique for the management of glaucoma or ocular hypertension will be included in the study and followed during their active follow-up attendances. The registry will collate data collected as part of routine care and from patient-completed questionnaires.
