Eye strain test may forecast glaucoma course
NCT ID NCT06240312
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether images of the optic nerve head taken at two different eye pressures can predict how glaucoma will change over time. Researchers will compare these strain measurements to actual vision loss in 130 glaucoma patients. The goal is to develop a new biomarker to guide treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new way to predict how glaucoma will progress, helping doctors tailor monitoring and treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The strain measure may not reliably predict disease course, and results may not apply to all glaucoma patients.

Not a phased trial
Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.
