Electrical stimulation for vision loss from glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 40 years or older
- You have a type of glaucoma that causes your visual field to narrow or worsen over time
- You have had recent vision loss recorded on a visual field test within a specific range
- Your vision in the study eye is 20/100 or better
- You agree to use birth control if you could become pregnant
- You can learn to use the stimulation device at home

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.
This trial studies whether electrical stimulation can help improve vision in people with glaucoma-related optic nerve damage. You may qualify if your visual field test shows moderate to severe loss and your eye pressure is stable.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can improve peripheral (side) vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It targets people whose central vision is still relatively preserved but whose side vision has a measurable “gap” on vision testing.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It uses a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called rtACS, which may help damaged optic nerves work better.
This trial tests whether combining a short vision learning program with non-invasive electrical stimulation to the brain can improve vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It may help by training the visual system while stimulating brain pathways to support vision.
This study tests if mild electrical stimulation of the optic nerve can help people with moderate to advanced glaucoma. It may be an option if your glaucoma has gotten worse despite standard treatments.
