Tiny implant could free glaucoma patients from daily eye drops

NCT ID NCT04060758

Summary

This early-stage study tested a small, dissolving implant placed inside the eye to slowly release glaucoma medication over time. It involved 37 adults with mild-to-moderate glaucoma to find the safest and most effective dose. The goal was to see if this one-time implant could control eye pressure as well as or better than daily eye drops.
