Study arms

  • Experimental
    Bilateral iridotomy: Superior

    Each subject in this single-arm study undergoes bilateral laser peripheral iridotomy surgery. Each participant will undergo superior laser peripheral iridotomy in one eye and temporal laser peripheral iridotomy in the fellow eye.

    Procedure: Superior laser peripheral iridotomy

  • Experimental
    Bilateral iridotomy: Temporal

    Each subject in this single-arm study undergoes bilateral laser peripheral iridotomy surgery. Each participant will undergo superior laser peripheral iridotomy in one eye and temporal laser peripheral iridotomy in the fellow eye.

    Procedure: Temporal laser peripheral iridotomy

Interventions

  • ProcedureSuperior laser peripheral iridotomy

    Iridotomy placement between 11:00 and 1:00 o'clock

  • ProcedureTemporal laser peripheral iridotomy

    Iridotomy placement at 3:00 or 9:00 o'clock

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in visual acuity

    Change from baseline best corrected visual acuity evaluated in number of letters correctly read on the ETDRS chart

    Time frame: 30 days post-operative

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Peli-Robson contrast sensitivity

    Change from baseline in contrast sensitivity evaluated in number of letters correctly read on the Peli-Robson chart

    Time frame: 30 days post-operative

  2. Change in CSV-1000 contrast sensitivity

    Change from baseline in contrast sensitivity evaluated using the number of correct responses on the CSV-1000 test

    Time frame: 30 days post-operative

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jan 2018 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Feb 2021, 37 months after the start.

Of 28 interventional studies with no phase under Glaucoma, Angle-Closure, half reached primary completion within 35 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 43. This study's planned 37 months is close to that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 14, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
