Kids' glaucoma exams: standard anesthesia may improve accuracy
NCT ID NCT03972852
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 120 children with glaucoma or suspected glaucoma who needed eye exams under anesthesia. The goal was to see if a standard anesthesia plan could produce consistent and reliable eye pressure measurements. Researchers measured how deep the anesthesia was and compared two different ways to measure eye pressure. The findings could help doctors get more accurate readings for better diagnosis and treatment.
