Summary

This study looks at whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help people with glaucoma. 168 adults with open-angle glaucoma will be split into two groups: one does HIIT, the other gets standard care and lifestyle advice. The goal is to see if exercise improves blood flow in the eye and slows the disease, potentially improving quality of life.
