NCT ID NCT04500574

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a special contact lens that slowly releases the glaucoma drug latanoprost, aiming to replace daily eye drops. Only one person enrolled before the study was stopped early. The goal was to check safety and whether the lens could lower eye pressure, but no conclusions can be drawn from such a small trial.
