Summary
This study tests a device called Nanodropper that attaches to eye drop bottles and makes each drop smaller. Many glaucoma patients have trouble getting drops into their eyes or use too much, wasting medication. The trial will see if the device helps patients finish their bottles on time and feel more satisfied, and whether it keeps eye pressure under control.
