Eye blood flow may reveal glaucoma before vision loss
NCT ID NCT05344274
First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study is testing whether measuring blood flow in the retina can help spot early glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. Researchers will use special dyes and oxygen tests to see how eye blood vessels respond in 90 adults with early glaucoma. The goal is to create a reliable biomarker for earlier diagnosis and better treatment timing.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Indocyanine green dye and oxygen
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple, non-invasive test to detect glaucoma earlier, potentially preventing vision loss.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study focused on finding a biomarker, not a treatment. The results may not translate into a widely usable test.
