Glaucoma patients needed: 3-Year study aims to sharpen vision loss detection
NCT ID NCT05801471
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 200 people with glaucoma for 3 years to see how their vision changes over time. Researchers will compare two different eye-testing machines to find which one spots vision loss earlier and more accurately. No new treatments are tested—the goal is to improve how doctors track the disease.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Glaucomatous optic nerve head in both eyes; * Age between 40 and 90 years; * Best Corrected Visual Acuity ≤ 0.3 \[logMar\]; * Spherical refraction between -6D and +6D; * Astigmatism between -2D and +2D. Exclusion Criteria: * Any ocular surgery, except for: uncomplicated cataract surgery and/or glaucoma surgery in both eyes performed within 6 months before enrollment; * Any ocular pathology that can affect visual field other than glaucoma; * Use of any drug that can interfere with the correct execution of perimetry or that would produce visual field loss; * Inability to obtain reliable perimetric examinations; * Patients with advanced glaucoma for whom, according to the clinician, a 24-2 grid is not advisable to correctly monitor the patient.
