Access Program Information
Monocentric prospective study conducted in two phases evaluating the secretion and
elimination of aqueous humor by fluorophotometry in patients with glaucoma treated with
cyclo-coagulation with ultrasound.
Population selected:
– Patients with refractory open angle glaucoma despite previous treatments currently
validated for glaucoma.
The purpose of our study is:
– To evaluate the mechanism of action of glaucoma treatment by cyclo-coagulation with high
intensity focused ultrasound in studying the secretion and elimination of aqueous humor by
fluorophotometry.
Planning:
– First phase: 2 patients (feasibility study) If reduction of at least 10% of the flow of
aqueous humor production at one month in the first two patients in the feasibility
study, further in second phase.
– Second phase: 6 patients
