Electrical stimulation for vision in glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have a type of glaucoma called primary open-angle glaucoma, including normal-tension or low-tension glaucoma.
- Your vision loss is moderate (not too mild, not too severe) on a standard vision test.
- Your eye pressure is well-controlled and below 18.
- You do not have certain eye conditions like active inflammation, corneal clouding, or a history of ocular shingles.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking certain medications like steroids or acyclovir.
- You do not have a skull opening, brain pacemaker, or metal implants in your head.
- You have not had a seizure recently.

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.
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 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.
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 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 trial tests a combination of non-invasive brain stimulation and visual training to see if it can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It may help if you have stable vision loss from glaucoma and want to try a new approach.
