New eye scan may spot glaucoma before vision loss begins
NCT ID NCT02710916
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a high-resolution eye scan called SD-OCT can diagnose glaucoma more accurately than standard methods. Researchers compared 109 people with and without glaucoma using the scan. The goal was to see if this technology could catch the disease earlier, before permanent vision damage occurs.
