Summary
This pilot study uses Brillouin microscopy, a non-contact imaging method, to measure how stiff the cornea is in people with glaucoma. Researchers will compare corneal stiffness between patients with high-tension glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if these measurements can help predict glaucoma risk or track disease progression. About 60 adults will participate.
