Brain scans reveal hidden damage in glaucoma patients
NCT ID NCT01621841
First seen Jun 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026
Summary
This study used powerful 3-Tesla MRI scanners to compare the visual pathways in the brains of 114 people—some with glaucoma and some healthy. The goal was to see if glaucoma causes damage beyond the eye, similar to diseases like Alzheimer's. Researchers measured brain structure and tissue health, but this was an observational study, not a treatment trial.
