Recruiting studies near Washington, D.C.
- NCT04401982RecruitingPhase 4
Testing eye drops for blood flow in high eye pressure and glaucoma
This study tests whether three different eye drop treatments (netarsudil, latanoprost, or both together) can improve blood flow to the white part of the eye and the retina. It may help people with high eye pressure or who are glaucoma suspects better understand how these treatments work.
Silver Spring, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05370287Recruiting
Adaptive-eye imaging for adults with primary open-angle glaucoma
This study uses a special “adaptive optics” camera to take very detailed pictures of the retina (the light-sensing layer at the back of the eye). It is meant for adults with primary open-angle glaucoma to improve how well the images can be captured and studied.
Silver Spring, MarylandAges 21 years+ - NCT05344274RecruitingPhase 4
Eye blood flow study in people with glaucoma
This study measures how blood flows in the retina and how well the eye regulates that flow. It compares people with early or very early glaucoma to people without glaucoma to see what differences may predict progression.
Silver Spring, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT07480343Enrolling by invitation
Five-year follow-up after CREST glaucoma study
This study follows up with people who finished the CREST study to check how their eyes are doing 5 years later. It looks at the long-term results of a prior glaucoma treatment.
Chevy Chase, MarylandAges Any age - NCT04553523Recruiting
Hydrus microstent study for open-angle glaucoma with cataracts
This study enrolls people who have cataracts and primary open-angle glaucoma that is being treated with eye drops. It will look at how well the Hydrus microstent works after approval, especially for lowering eye pressure safely.
Rockville, MarylandAges 45 years+ - NCT07147647Recruiting
Laser treatment for lowering eye pressure in Black patients with glaucoma
This trial tests a laser procedure called DSLT to reduce eye pressure in Black patients with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It aims to see if this treatment works well as a first step before using eye drops.
Elkridge, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06993597Recruiting
Eye stiffness study in glaucoma patients using a special camera
This study uses a special camera (Brillouin microscopy) to measure how stiff your cornea is. It compares people with different types of glaucoma to those without glaucoma, helping researchers understand the link between corneal stiffness and eye pressure.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05924477Recruiting
Compare glaucoma shunt options to prevent cell loss
This study compares a glaucoma drainage device approach to see which one better prevents loss of corneal cells after surgery. You may benefit by receiving close monitoring around the time of glaucoma surgery and helping doctors improve surgical choices.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05726058Recruiting
Imaging eye blood flow to assess glaucoma
This study uses special imaging to look at blood flow in the eye to help assess or better understand glaucoma. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with eye exams that fit the study’s specific eye-health and imaging requirements.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT04967989RecruitingPhase 3
Laser eye treatment timing for certain glaucoma or eye pressure
This Phase 3 study tests how best to use a laser treatment (SLT) for people with high eye pressure or mild-to-moderate primary open-angle glaucoma. It aims to find the best way to lower eye pressure and protect vision while comparing treatment approaches.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07425535RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Optic nerve strain study for people without glaucoma
This study looks at how the optic nerve (the part of your eye that sends images to your brain) strains or bends in people who do not have glaucoma. It uses advanced eye imaging and home pressure checks to understand the nerve's health.

What taking part in a glaucoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
