Glaucoma's hidden toll: study links vision loss to limited mobility
NCT ID NCT04396002
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how vision loss from glaucoma affects how often and how far older adults get out and about, known as 'life space.' Researchers will use questionnaires and vision tests to compare people with glaucoma to those without. The goal is to understand the real-world impact of glaucoma on daily life and mobility.
