Summary

This early-stage study tested a tiny implant placed inside the eye that slowly releases medication to lower eye pressure in people with mild-to-moderate open-angle glaucoma. The goal was to find a dose that works well with few side effects. 37 adults took part, and researchers monitored safety and pressure-lowering effects over time.
