Eye shape linked to optic nerve changes in new study
NCT ID NCT07241806
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the length of the eye and the amount of nearsightedness or farsightedness relate to the health of the optic nerve and surrounding layers. Researchers will use a special camera (OCT) to take detailed images of the eye in 266 adults. The goal is to better understand how different vision problems affect eye structure, which may help with future eye care.
