New eye implant aims to lower pressure in glaucoma patients
NCT ID NCT07480603
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a new drainage device for people with glaucoma, a condition where pressure builds up in the eye. The device is designed to self-adjust to help lower eye pressure. Ten participants will be followed to see if the device is safe and effective at reducing pressure by more than 20%.
