New imaging study reveals how glaucoma drug works inside the eye

NCT ID NCT07588152

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study uses special cameras to take detailed pictures of the eye's drainage system in people with glaucoma or high eye pressure. Half of the 50 participants will use Rhopressa eye drops daily for two weeks, while the other half will use artificial tears. The goal is to see if Rhopressa changes the structure of the drainage tissue, which may explain how it lowers eye pressure.
