New eye scans aim to catch silent vision thief earlier

NCT ID NCT00221897

Summary

This long-term study aims to find the best ways to detect glaucoma and track its progression, especially in people with nearsightedness (myopia) and people of African or European descent. Researchers will use advanced eye imaging technology to monitor the health of the optic nerve and blood vessels in the eye over several years. The goal is to improve early diagnosis and management to help prevent vision loss from this common eye disease.
