Glaucoma Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• People aged 18 or older.
• People who are able to attend all required study visits and follow the study schedule.
• People who have been diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (including normal tension or low tension types), with vision test results falling within a specific range of severity — not too mild and not too advanced — as measured by a standard visual field test called Humphrey Visual Field 24-2.
• People whose eye pressure is stable and measures below 18 on standard eye pressure testing.
• People with two eyes that both meet the study requirements — in that case, the eye with the worse visual field score would be the one entered into the study, or the person may choose, or a random assignment process may be used.
• People who are able to read and sign a consent form, or who can have the consent form read aloud to them if their vision makes reading difficult.

Who may not be able to join:

• People who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• People who have a physical or mental health condition that, in the opinion of the study doctor, could increase the risk of taking part or interfere with study results.
• People who have an opening in the skull, have had a trepanation procedure, or have a heart or brain pacemaker.
