Study measures eye surface sugar layer in glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You agree to take part and sign consent
- If you’re in the glaucoma group, you have primary open-angle glaucoma in BOTH eyes
- If you’re in the control group, you do NOT have optic nerve disease (including no primary open-angle glaucoma)
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- You should not have sleep apnea or kidney problems (renal insufficiency)

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests new ways to evaluate eyes to help diagnose glaucoma and related eye conditions. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with normal eye health or with concerns like myopia, glaucoma suspicion, or ocular hypertension.
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.
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.
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.
This study tests new ways to diagnose glaucoma (and sometimes related eye conditions) using eye exams and measurements. It may help improve how doctors detect glaucoma earlier and more accurately.
