NCT ID NCT05325996
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether people with glaucoma can use portable devices at home to check their eye pressure and vision. Over two years, 53 patients measured their eye pressure three times a day for a week every three months and tested their vision weekly. The goal was to see if home monitoring is practical and accurate compared to standard clinic tests.
