Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation in Normal Tension Glaucoma

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Dec 2020 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this study is to assess whether endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation added to cataract surgery lowers intraocular pressure more than cataract surgery alone in patients with normal tension glaucoma.
