About this study

Official title: Comparison of Intraocular Pressure Measured by Goldmann Applanation Tonometry and Dynamic Contour Tonometry vs. Corvis ST Tonometer

The study is investigating Intra ocular pressure (IOP) by Goldmann Applanation Tonometry, Dynamic Contour Tonometry, and the Corvis ST tonometer.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to approach the "true" Intra ocular pressure (IOP) by correlating the difference between IOP by Goldmann Applanation Tonometry to the IOP by Dynamic Contour Tonometry to the biomechanical parameters of the cornea measured by Corvis ST. Therefore the investigators gain new findings about the influence of the biomechanical corneal parameters on the IOP. In order to do so the investigators want to examine 50 Glaucoma eyes and 50 non-Glaucoma Eyes with Goldmann Applanation Tonometry, Dynamic Contour Tonometry, and Corvis ST.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Delta IOP

    IOP difference of Goldmann tonometer and Dynamic Contour tonometer

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation of IOP difference of Goldmann tonometer and Dynamic Contour tonometer with biomechanical corneal properties measured by Corvis ST tonometer

    Corvis ST has an integrated high-speed Scheimpflug camera which records images on which basis the biomechanical corneal parameter are analyzed (corneal thickness in micrometers, corneal applications in millimeters, peak distance in millimeters, radius in millimeters, and deformation amplitude in millimeters). Those biomechanical parameters of the cornea will be correlated to the difference of the IOP measured by GAT and by DCT (GAT - DCT).

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) in people with Glaucoma, run by University of Zurich.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Delta IOP (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jun 2017.
