Optic nerve strain study for people without glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 30 years or older.
- You must not have any type of glaucoma (open-angle or other forms).
- You must be able to sit upright without help.
- You must have clear enough eyes for imaging (no severe cataracts, corneal scars, or bleeding in the eye).
- You must be able to keep your eyes open during the imaging test.
- You must be willing and able to perform home eye pressure checks correctly after training.

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.
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 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.
This study uses advanced eye imaging (OCT and OCTA) to understand how the blood vessels and tissue layers in the back of the eye differ between people with glaucoma, people at risk for angle-closure glaucoma, and people with healthy eyes. The findings may help doctors better diagnose and understand these eye conditions.
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 looks at how parts of the eye’s optic nerve and retinal surface look and change in people with glaucoma (or certain eye procedures) and in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand eye anatomy, which could guide future care.
