Pseudo-Seidel Sign in Glaucoma - Clinical Trial

What is the Purpose of this Study?

In this study visit, participants will have a regular eye exam. The doctor will place a small amount of special dye in the eye to look for any leaks. The doctor will use a light and microscope to look closely at the eye and may gently move the eyelid to see certain areas better. The visit should take about the same amount of time as a normal eye doctor appointment.

What is the Condition Being Studied?

Patients with prior glaucoma surgery (e.g. trabeculectomy or tube shunt)

Who Can Participate in the Study?

This study is for adults who are 18 years old or older and have had glaucoma surgery in the past. They must be able to have a regular eye exam that uses a special dye to help the doctor see how the eye is healing.

Age Group
Adults

What is Involved?

This study looks at how well a special dye called fluorescein helps doctors find fluid leaks on the surface of the eye after glaucoma surgery. The goal is to learn when this test gives correct information and when it might give confusing results. What researchers learn can help patients get the right care for their eyes.
