Healthy eyes get glaucoma drops to uncover injury secrets
NCT ID NCT07425535
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how the optic nerve changes when eye pressure is lowered in people who do not have glaucoma. About 30 adults over age 30 will have their optic nerve photographed before and after using a daily glaucoma eye drop for two weeks. The goal is to compare these results with those from glaucoma patients to better understand how the disease damages the eye.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults who have no history of OAG * Have an ocular examination by a glaucoma specialist with no indications of OAG * Have normal optical coherence tomography findings in the retinal nerve fiber layer. * Over age 30 will be included from * Both sexes * All ethnic groups. * Optic neuropathy. * Both suspects and those with glaucoma damage will be included. * When both eyes meet inclusion and exclusion criteria, both eyes will be included in the study and statistical methods will be used to account for correlations between eyes within the same individual. Exclusion Criteria: * in whom sitting in an upright position is impossible due to physical disability * with ocular media opacity, corneal scarring, cataract or vitreous hemorrhage, that does not allow adequate imaging resolution. * in whom keeping the eyes open during the imaging procedure is not possible or uncomfortable. * who cannot perform home tonometry accurately at certification * who do not have reliable clinical Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) testing. * with any form of glaucoma * with high myopia defined as refractive error \> -8 * with past keratorefractive surgery, corneal dystrophy, or corneal ectasia that would make self-tonometry measurements difficult to interpret * inability to understand English or with a language or hearing impairment
