Intraocular PressureNCT03400137
IOP Elevation Study
A study testing Increasing of intraocular pressure (IC) in people with Intraocular Pressure, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to improve understanding of the pathophysiologic process that leads to the development of glaucamotous damage. The mechanism by which vision loss in glaucoma occurs is still unknown, but it is clear that increased intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Effects of Elevated Intraocular Pressure on the Lamina Cribrosa
The purpose of this study is to improve understanding of the pathophysiologic process that leads to the development of glaucamotous damage. The mechanism by which vision loss in glaucoma occurs is still unknown, but it is clear that increased intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor. It is also thought that the LC is a site of primary damage during pathogenesis of the disease. This prospective study with determine the in-vivo mechanical response to IOP modulation at the level of the ONH and LC.
Read the detailed description
The present study will briefly increase the pressure in eyes of living subjects and examine the effect of elevated intraocular pressure on optic nerve topography and position during pressure elevation using optical coherence tomography imaging of the posterior eye. Outcome measures will include measurements in microns based on these images quantifying the deformation of the lamina cribrosa.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Assessment of the deformation of the lamina cribrosa in healthy eye in response to increasing intraocular pressure.
OCT scanning will be obtained at baseline and with increased IOP. The IOP elevation will last no longer than two minutes, during which scans will be acquired by the imaging device.
Measured: 10 Minutes
