Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
This study will only enroll participants who took part in a study called GLAUrious, conducted between 2018 and 2021. The purpose of the original study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of a new automated direct selective laser trabeculoplasty device (DSLT).
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a laser-based procedure used to treat open-angle glaucoma. It involves using a low-energy laser to target and stimulate specific cells in the eye's drainage system, improving fluid outflow and reducing intraocular pressure. Unlike other laser treatments, SLT is "selective" and doesn't cause damage to surrounding tissue. By enhancing drainage, SLT helps manage glaucoma and prevent vision loss. It is a safe and effective alternative to medication or surgery, with minimal side effects.

Who can participate?
All participants who were part of the GLAUrious study

What does the study involve?
A one-off visit in which a few assessments, as part of your normal eye care will be conducted. This is so that we can look at the long-term safety with the treatment types looked at in the original study and let us see if there are any differences between them over the long term.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
None

Where is the study run from?
Belkin Vision (Israel)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
July 2023 to August 2024

InterventionCross sectional, observational study examining participants enrolled to the GLAUrious study having received either SLT or DSLT treatment as part of the randomized controlled trial.
Qualified participants will be contacted to ask if they would be willing to participate in an observational follow up study to collect data to assess the long-term safety of participants treated as part of this randomized controlled study. If they agree, they will be asked to attend the clinic for one visit. Participants are expected to be in the clinic for about 3-4 hours. The following clinical assessment will be performed for all study participants in both eyes in this order:
• Medical History
• Ocular history (including details of any secondary surgical intervention, previous contact lens wear and glaucoma medication administration)
• Manifest refraction and BVCA
• Visual field
• Slit lamp examination
• IOP
• Fundus Examination (if BCVA warrants this assessment)
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureSafety parameters (slit lamp exam). This observational study includes only one single visit.
Secondary outcome measuresAdditional safety parameters (IOP, visual field, and fundus exam). This observational study includes only one single visit.
