NCT ID NCT05264818
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether damage to the glycocalyx, a protective lining inside blood vessels, is linked to glaucoma. Researchers will compare 50 people with glaucoma to 50 without, using a non-invasive device to measure this lining under the tongue. The goal is to see if blood vessel problems play a role in glaucoma damage.
