New eye drop shows promise for glaucoma without high pressure
NCT ID NCT06030193
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new eye drop called QLS-111 in 37 people with normal tension glaucoma, a type of glaucoma where eye pressure is not high but vision still gets damaged. The goal was to see if QLS-111 is safe and can lower eye pressure better than a standard drop called timolol. Participants used the drops for a short time while doctors checked for side effects and measured eye pressure changes.
