This study tests whether a structured glaucoma awareness program can improve how well patients follow their lifelong treatment. About 60 adults with glaucoma at a hospital in Nepal will take part. Researchers will measure adherence before and after the program and interview parti…

This study tests a laser treatment called DSLT in 40 Asian adults with normal tension glaucoma, a type of glaucoma where eye pressure is not high but vision still worsens. The goal is to see if the laser can safely lower eye pressure and reduce the number of daily eye drops neede…

This study looks at how Rocklatan eye drops affect blood flow in the eyes of people with early-stage glaucoma. About 30 participants will use the drops and have their eye blood flow measured with special imaging over 6 to 12 months. The goal is to see if the drops and the imaging…

This study tests whether adding a temporary stitch inside a tiny eye drain (Preserflo) can prevent dangerously low eye pressure after glaucoma surgery. About 192 adults with glaucoma will be randomly assigned to get the stitch or not. The goal is to see if the stitch reduces comp…

This study looks at three types of patch grafts (donor sclera, cornea, and pericardium) used in glaucoma surgery to help control eye pressure. Researchers will compare how well each graft works, how safe they are, and what patients think about them. The goal is to find the best o…

This study will develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system to detect common eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Researchers will use 15,000 existing eye images from two clinics in Costa Rica, without recruiting new participants. The goal is to cre…

This study will test an artificial intelligence (AI) system that reads eye scans (OCT) to diagnose common blinding eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Researchers will collect 2,000 real-world scans and see how well the AI can identify each…

This study looks at whether a tool called the Nanodropper helps people with glaucoma use their eye drops more easily and get the full amount from each bottle. About 80 patients will try the device and report how satisfied they are and how long their medication lasts. The goal is …

This study tests if a structured blinking exercise can reduce dry eye symptoms in adults with glaucoma who use daily eye drops. Forty-five participants will practice a specific blink routine three times a day for two weeks. Researchers will measure symptom relief and tear film st…

This study looks at whether Lumify, a mild eye drop already approved for redness, can safely reduce eye redness in 60 glaucoma patients who are already using stronger brimonidine drops. Researchers will check redness, eye pressure, and eyelid position. The goal is to see if Lumif…

This small pilot study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation can temporarily improve orientation and mobility in adults with tunnel vision from conditions like retinitis pigmentosa or glaucoma. Twenty participants will complete an obstacle course after receiving ei…

This study looks at whether a common type of glaucoma eye drop (prostaglandin analogues) can protect the eye's nerve cells directly, not just by lowering eye pressure. Researchers will review medical records from 1500 adults with glaucoma over 3 years. They will compare those usi…

This study looks at how the optic nerve responds to lower eye pressure in people who do not have glaucoma. Researchers will take pictures of the optic nerve before and after using a daily glaucoma eye drop for two weeks. The goal is to compare these results with those from glauco…

This study will screen over 7,000 adults aged 40 and older living in affordable housing in New York City for undiagnosed or uncontrolled high blood pressure and glaucoma. Participants will receive free screenings and be referred to follow-up care. The goal is to see if a virtual …

This study looks at how Rhopressa eye drops change the drainage tissue inside the eye in people with glaucoma or high eye pressure. About 50 adults will be randomly assigned to get either Rhopressa or placebo (artificial tears) for two weeks. Researchers will use special cameras …

This study looks at whether a home-based exercise program (resistance training and stationary cycling) can protect or improve vision in people with glaucoma, a disease that damages eye nerves. Researchers will measure changes in vision, eye blood flow, and quality of life in 150 …
