AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Diagnosis of Primary Angle Closure (PAC) or Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma (PACG) with indication for Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI). PAC is defined by the presence of a partial or complete iridotrabecular contact(ITC) in more than 2 quadrants with either raised intraocular pressure (IOP) (ie. more than 21 mmHg) and/or PAS; however, with normal optic disc and visual field. PACG is defined by the presence of ITC with either raised IOP and/or PAS, and evidence of glaucomatous optic disc and visual field
* No IOP-lowering drug treatment or a 4-week wash-out period prior to Study Day 0
* Aged ≥18 years, of either sex
* Not more than 6 diopters spherical equivalent on the study eye
* Have given written informed consent, prior to any investigational procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
* History of acute angle closure glaucoma on the study eye
* Secondary angle closure glaucoma on the study eye
* History of ocular surgery within the last 3 months on the study eye
* History of ocular laser treatment, including previous LPI on the study eye
* Corneal or conjunctival abnormality precluding contact lens adaptation on the study eye
* Severe dry eye syndrome on the study eye
* Patients with allergy to corneal anesthetic
* Patients with contraindications for silicone contact lens wear
* Patients not able to understand the character and individual consequences of the investigation
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
