MRI scans reveal blood flow secrets in glaucoma eyes
NCT ID NCT02178085
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study used MRI to measure blood flow in the eye's main artery in 20 adults with untreated glaucoma and compared it to healthy people. The goal was to understand how blood flow problems might contribute to glaucoma damage. Participants had one MRI scan, and no treatment was given.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult participants * Diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma or normal-tension glaucoma * Never received any anti glaucoma therapy * Patients included in the group " normal pressure glaucoma " are patients where the diagnosis of optic neuropathy have been worn by the ophthalmologist with measured intraocular pressure \<21 mmHg. * Healthy controls will be examined by an ophthalmologist before inclusion Exclusion Criteria: * Anyone with a classic contraindication to MRI * Cardiovascular comorbidities or neurovascular : uncontrolled systemic hypertension , Diabetes, heart failure , carotid stenosis , ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack. * Already treated glaucoma * Prescription by the ophthalmologist another treatment than prostaglandin analogue treatment. * Other clinical forms of glaucoma : angle closure glaucoma, neovascular glaucoma, exfoliative glaucoma, secondary glaucomas, pigment dispersion glaucoma, traumatic glaucoma, congenital glaucoma * Presence of other ocular pathology (simple refractive error allowing 10/10 of best corrected visual acuity and mild and moderate cataracts will not be considered as a criterion for non- inclusion). * History of intraocular or orbital surgery of less than 6 months .
