New eye imaging study could unlock secrets of glaucoma

This study looks at how tiny fibers in the eye, called the vitreous zonule, might play a role in causing primary angle-closure glaucoma, a serious eye condition. Researchers will use advanced 3D ultrasound to take detailed pictures of these fibers in 440 adults, including those with early to advanced glaucoma and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand the disease and find new ways to detect it early.
