Recruiting studies
- NCT04381611Enrolling by invitation
Study of glaucoma surgeries and laser treatments over time
This study looks at people with glaucoma or high eye pressure to understand how surgeries and laser treatments affect long-term outcomes. It may help doctors predict which treatments work best for different patients.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 1–100 - NCT07780916Recruiting
Long-term results of trabectome surgery for glaucoma
This study looks at the long-term results of a specific glaucoma surgery (trabectome) done at one hospital. If you had this surgery there between 2019 and 2021, researchers want to check your eye health now to see how well it worked.
Würzburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06682962Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for vision loss from glaucoma
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation on the eye can slow or improve vision loss in people with open-angle glaucoma. It uses a device you can use at home after training.
MainzAges 40 years+ - NCT07303257Recruiting
Quality of life after glaucoma surgery: a patient-centered study
This study compares how different types of glaucoma surgery affect your daily life and well-being. If you need glaucoma surgery, you may join to help doctors understand which procedure works best from a patient's perspective.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT02959242Recruiting
Study of glaucoma eye pressure and risk checks
This study follows people with glaucoma, higher-than-normal eye pressure, or a suspected risk of glaucoma. It aims to better understand how eye pressure and eye findings relate to glaucoma and may guide future treatment decisions.
Dresden, SaxonyAges Any age - NCT05439161Recruiting
XEN gel stent compared with trabeculectomy for open-angle glaucoma
This trial compares two glaucoma operations to see which works better at lowering eye pressure and keeping the eye stable. It’s for adults with open-angle glaucoma who are eligible for either surgery and can attend follow-up visits.
SalzburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06792422RecruitingPhase 4
Oral semaglutide for open-angle glaucoma
This trial tests if an oral medication called semaglutide can help people with open-angle glaucoma. It aims to see if it can protect the optic nerve and manage eye pressure.
Glostrup MunicipalityAges 45 years+ - NCT07076303Recruiting
Laser treatment for new glaucoma patients without prior medication
This study tests a new laser treatment called DSLT for people who have just been diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or a similar condition like ocular hypertension. It aims to see if the laser can lower eye pressure by at least 20% after six months without needing any eye drops.
Plymouth Meeting, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07228221RecruitingPhase 4
Study of iStent and iDose for moderate to severe glaucoma
This trial studies a new treatment (a tiny device called iStent Infinite and a medication implant) for people with moderate to severe open-angle glaucoma who have not responded well to drops or laser. The goal is to see if this treatment can lower eye pressure and help avoid traditional surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06925477Enrolling by invitation
New vs. standard laser for open-angle glaucoma
This study compares a new way of doing laser treatment for open-angle glaucoma versus the standard method. The goal is to see which approach works better at lowering eye pressure and protecting vision.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06822738RecruitingPhase 3
Study of XEN63 gel stent for glaucoma patients
This trial tests a new gel stent (XEN63) to lower eye pressure in adults with glaucoma. It compares two ways of putting the stent in the eye, and may help people who have not had success with other treatments.
Glendale, ArizonaAges 45 years+ - NCT05685485Recruiting
Testing a tube implant surgery for certain glaucoma
This trial studies a glaucoma operation that uses an Ahmed valve tube implant. It may help people whose eye pressure is not well controlled with current treatments by comparing outcomes of this specific surgical approach.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT03423758Recruiting
Genetic study of eye diseases: PXF, angle-closure and open glaucoma
This study looks at blood or DNA-related factors that may explain why certain glaucoma and related eye conditions happen. It may help researchers understand risk and causes across different glaucoma types.
ViennaAges 21–105 - NCT03870230Recruiting
Study of eye blood-flow signals in glaucoma and healthy eyes
This study compares eye blood-flow/brain-eye communication signals in people with glaucoma (or high eye pressure) versus people with normal eye tests. It may help researchers understand how glaucoma develops and progresses.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05264818Recruiting
Study measures eye surface sugar layer in glaucoma
This study looks at a thin “sugar coating” on the inside surface of the eye (the endothelial glycocalyx) in people with primary open-angle glaucoma and compares it with people without optic nerve disease. The results may help researchers better understand how glaucoma affects the eye.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05500469Recruiting
Test which chamber position protects corneal clarity after glaucoma surgery
This trial studies whether placing a glaucoma drainage device tube in the front part versus the back part of the eye better preserves the cornea’s inner cell layer. You might benefit by using a tube placement that could help keep the cornea clearer for longer after surgery.
RotterdamAges 18–100 - NCT05624398Recruiting
Hydrus stent plus cataract surgery for mild glaucoma
This study looks at outcomes for people with mild glaucoma who need cataract surgery, comparing how well the Hydrus stent works when placed during cataract surgery. The goal is to see whether this combined approach keeps eye pressure and vision stable with fewer issues.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 45 years+ - NCT06124521Recruiting
Community glaucoma support study for Black adults
This study tests a way to help Black adults in Michigan manage glaucoma through a community church program. It’s for those who already had a screening eye exam and want support staying on top of their eye health.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 40 years+ - NCT06313749Recruiting
Trial of a new surgery for glaucoma not helped by eye drops
This study tests a new minimally-invasive surgery called MIMS to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma that isn't well controlled even with multiple eye drop medications. The surgery makes a tiny opening to help fluid drain and reduce pressure in the eye.
Dallas, TexasAges 40–85 - NCT06492538Recruiting
Eye changes after glaucoma angle surgery
This study looks at how your eye's drainage angle changes after glaucoma surgery. It helps doctors understand what happens to the front part of your eye after procedures like laser or surgery to open the drainage area.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 30–85 - NCT06629649Recruiting
AI-based glaucoma screening at health centers
This trial uses an AI tool to screen for glaucoma at community health centers. If you qualify, you will get a free eye check to catch glaucoma early and help researchers improve screening for high-risk groups.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06685211Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for vision in glaucoma
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation can help improve vision in people with moderate vision loss from glaucoma. It might offer a new way to strengthen remaining vision.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06854198Recruiting
Glaucoma screening for at-risk Californians
This study tests whether offering eye exams at a health center helps find glaucoma early in people who are at higher risk. It may help you catch vision problems before they get worse.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06882356Recruiting
Glaucoma and eye disease screening study
This study uses an AI system to screen for eye problems in people with diabetes during routine primary care visits. It aims to find signs of diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma early, so you can get the right treatment sooner.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for glaucoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 209 recruiting glaucoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a glaucoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a glaucoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
