Blinking exercise for glaucoma patients
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple blinking exercise can help people with glaucoma or those at risk for it. You'll be assigned to either do the exercise or not, and researchers will see if it improves eye comfort and health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- If you have glaucoma, you need to be using at least one prescription eye drop for it.
- If you don't have glaucoma yet, you must be a 'glaucoma suspect' (showing early signs) and not using eye drops.
- You cannot have had eye surgery in the past 6 months.
- You cannot wear contact lenses during the study.
- You cannot have certain eye surface conditions (like severe dry eye) or autoimmune diseases that affect the eyes.

This study looks at how exercise and daily physical activity are related to vision in people with glaucoma. By answering a questionnaire and having some simple eye checks, participants can help researchers understand whether staying active might protect eyesight in glaucoma patients.
This study tests whether a simple home-based circuit training program can help lower eye pressure and protect the optic nerve in people with glaucoma. It may be a safe way to add exercise to your routine without needing special equipment.
This study tests whether simple activities like gentle traditional exercise (Baduanjin) or laughter exercises, when combined with artificial tear drops, can improve dry eye symptoms better than using artificial tears alone. If you have dry eye, this could be a drug-free way to feel more comfortable.
This study tests if a gentle exercise called Baduanjin can help lower eye pressure in older adults with glaucoma or high eye pressure. It may offer a natural way to manage their condition.
This study looks at whether certain glaucoma eye drops might help protect the nerve cells in your eye over time. If you've been using the same type of eye drop for a few years, researchers will review your past eye tests to see how your vision and eye health have changed.
This study explores whether a daily meditation practice can help reduce stress in people with glaucoma. You would join virtual sessions and practice at home for about 15 minutes a day.
