Glaucoma patients test vision from home in new study
NCT ID NCT05690152
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether people with glaucoma would keep doing vision tests at home on an iPad every two weeks for six months. Eight patients took part. The goal was to see how often they tested and if the home test could catch worsening vision. Researchers also asked patients how easy the test was to use.
