New eye scan study aims to unlock Glaucoma's secrets
NCT ID NCT06274593
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 50 people with advanced glaucoma for three years, using a special eye scan (OCT angiography) to measure blood flow around the optic nerve. Researchers want to see how these scans compare with standard vision tests in tracking the disease. The goal is to better understand how glaucoma damages eyesight over time.
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 help doctors better predict how glaucoma progresses by using a non-invasive imaging test.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is not testing a treatment, so it won't directly improve vision.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Men and women aged 18 and over * Patient with glaucoma followed in the ophthalmology department of Nantes University Hospital * mean visual field deficit (MD) \>10dB Exclusion Criteria: * Retinal vascular pathology (moderate to severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, complicated diabetic retinopathy, OVCR/OBVR, OACR/OBAR, NOIAA...) Non-glaucomatous optic neuropathy, neurological pathology leading to visual field deficit (stroke with HLH, quadranopsia, chiasmatic Sd...) * PPR (retinal PanPhotocoagulation), retinal cerclage * Retinal pathology leading to visual field impairment (e.g. retinitis pigmentosa) * AMD and other macular pathologies that can lead to central visual field deficits * Significant environmental disorders impairing retinal imaging (e.g. active uveitis, dense cataract) * Loss of fixation point preventing visual field formation Pregnant or breast-feeding women * Protected adults under guardianship or curatorship * with unreliable visual fields (false positives and false negatives \> 33%) * with an uninterpretable OCTrnfl or OCTa (artifact, low quality score)
