Summary

This study tests a new treatment for glaucoma, a disease that damages the optic nerve and can lead to blindness. Researchers implant tiny capsules that release a protein to protect nerve cells. Thirty adults with moderate to advanced glaucoma will receive either the implant or a sham procedure. The goal is to see if the implant can slow vision loss over two years.
