Eye drop alternative injection may soothe glaucoma Patients' irritated eyes
NCT ID NCT07217678
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a slow-release injection (Durysta) can replace some daily eye drops for glaucoma, reducing eye surface inflammation. Researchers will measure a marker called caspase-1 in 20 adults with open-angle glaucoma. The goal is to see if fewer drops lead to a healthier, less irritated eye surface.
