Recruiting studies
- 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.

Glaucoma, eye surface health, and tear proteins
This study looks at how glaucoma and its treatments affect the surface of the eye and proteins in tears. It may help find better ways to manage eye health in people with glaucoma.
HsinchuAges 18 years+ - NCT06963684Recruiting
Glaucoma laser stability and sustainability study
This study tests whether a laser treatment helps keep eye pressure stable in people with early glaucoma or high eye pressure who have not used any eye drops or medications before. It may be a good option if you are looking for a treatment that doesn't require daily eye drops.
Coon Rapids, MinnesotaAges 40 years+ - NCT07063537Recruiting
Virtual reality eye test for glaucoma patients
This trial tests whether a virtual reality device can accurately measure your field of vision compared to standard tests. If you have primary open-angle glaucoma and can perform a visual field test, you may be able to participate.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07036510RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety and effectiveness of a timolol eye implant for glaucoma patients having cataract surgery
This trial tests a sustained-release implant that delivers timolol, a medicine to lower eye pressure, for people with glaucoma or high eye pressure who are also having cataract surgery. The implant is placed during surgery and may provide long-term pressure control without daily eye drops.
Panama CityAges 40 years+ - NCT07009236Recruiting
MINIject S+ for open angle glaucoma
This trial tests a tiny implant called MINIject S+ to lower eye pressure in people with open angle glaucoma that isn't well controlled with eye drops. It may be done alone or with cataract surgery.
Santa Rosa de CopánAges 20 years+ - NCT07003685Enrolling by invitation
Glaucoma drainage device for hard-to-treat glaucoma
This study tests a posterior chamber drainage device for people with glaucoma that is not controlled by eye drops, especially those who have already had cataract surgery. It aims to help lower eye pressure safely and prevent further vision loss.
Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi MinhAges 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+ - NCT06991270Recruiting
Glaucoma surgery study for people with cataracts
This trial tests a surgical system for people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option if you are having cataract surgery or have already had it, and your eye pressure is not well controlled with medications.
Panama CityAges 45 years+ - NCT06991712RecruitingPhase 2
NAD supplements for nerve health in glaucoma
This trial tests whether NAD precursor supplements can improve nerve health and vision in people with glaucoma. If you have glaucoma with mild to moderate vision loss, this study may help understand if these supplements could protect your optic nerve.
Wong Chuk HangAges 18 years+ - NCT06979752Recruiting
Testing a new cannula for glaucoma-cataract surgery
This trial tests whether a special cannula can help protect the eye during combined surgery for pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (a type of glaucoma with flaky deposits) and cataracts. It may offer better results than standard irrigation.
AvranchesAges 18 years+ - NCT06952153Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for glaucoma with cataract
This trial compares two types of eye surgery—one that removes the cataract and opens blocked drainage channels, and another that creates a new drainage pathway. It aims to find which works better for people with both glaucoma and cataracts.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 40 years+ - NCT06934577Recruiting
Glaucoma screening and eye health study via telemedicine
This study tests if telemedicine can help find glaucoma and other eye problems early. It may help people who speak one of several languages and want to check their eye health from home.
Flint, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06921317RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for advanced glaucoma
This trial tests a gene therapy treatment called GVB-2001 for people with primary open angle glaucoma. It involves a one-time injection into the eye to help lower eye pressure, and could be an option if you have tried other treatments that haven't worked well enough.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06827535Enrolling by invitation
Long-term study of eye changes in glaucoma and high eye pressure
This study tracks changes in blood flow, structure, and vision over time in people with glaucoma or high eye pressure. It aims to understand how these conditions progress, which could help improve future treatment.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06000865Recruiting
Video game and exercise rehab for glaucoma
This trial tests if active video games and exercise can help people with glaucoma improve their balance and daily function. It's for people who have stable vision loss and can still walk independently.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 55–80 - NCT06760169Recruiting
Laser combined with cataract and glaucoma surgery
This study tests a new laser device (ELIOS) during combined cataract and glaucoma surgery. It may help people who need both cataract removal and glaucoma treatment, aiming to lower eye pressure safely.
AvranchesAges 18–80 - NCT06731582Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Nicotinamide supplement study for glaucoma patients
This trial tests whether a vitamin B3 supplement called nicotinamide can help slow down vision loss in people with glaucoma. It is for those with moderate disease who are already on treatment.
Singapore, Central SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT04396002Recruiting
Study of life movement and vision loss in older adults
This study looks at whether how far and how much you move around each day is linked to glaucoma and vision field loss in older adults. It may help researchers understand what affects vision changes over time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–100 - NCT06289491Recruiting
Hydrus Microstent vs Goniotomy during cataract surgery
This study compares two procedures done during cataract surgery: placing a tiny stent (Hydrus Microstent) or performing a goniotomy (a small cut in the eye's drainage tissue). Both aim to lower eye pressure in people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–85 - NCT06274593Recruiting
Eye Imaging Study for Advanced Glaucoma
This study uses a special imaging test (OCT angiography) to look at blood flow around the optic nerve in people with advanced glaucoma. It aims to better understand how glaucoma affects eye circulation, which may help improve future care.
Nantes, NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT06246136Recruiting
Laser treatment for glaucoma during cataract surgery
This study tests a new laser treatment (ELIOS) for people with open-angle glaucoma who also need cataract surgery. It aims to see if the laser is safe and effective at lowering eye pressure while removing the cataract.
LeuvenAges 40 years+ - NCT06227611Recruiting
Testing vision grids for glaucoma patients
This trial compares different visual field test patterns to detect central vision loss in glaucoma patients who already show thinning of retinal cells. The goal is to find which test pattern works best for early detection.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for glaucoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 201 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.
