Exercise as medicine: HIIT may slow glaucoma damage
NCT ID NCT06058598
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve eye health and slow disease progression in people with glaucoma. 168 adults aged 40-75 with open-angle glaucoma will be randomly assigned to either a supervised HIIT program or standard care with lifestyle advice. The main goal is to see if exercise improves blood vessel function in the retina, which could help control the disease and enhance quality of life.
