First seen Jun 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tested whether a detailed eye scan called SD-OCT can tell the difference between people with glaucoma and healthy individuals. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, and current tests often miss early damage. Researchers used new scan measurements on 109 participants to see if they could catch the disease sooner. The goal is to improve screening and prevent vision loss.
