Does Blinking Exercise Help Lower Eye Pressure in Glaucoma?
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple blinking exercise can help manage glaucoma (a condition where eye pressure damages vision). Researchers will compare people with glaucoma who do blinking exercises to people at risk for glaucoma who haven't started treatment yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- No eye surgery in the past 6 months
- No contact lenses, severe eyelid inflammation, dry eye, or autoimmune diseases affecting your eyes

This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program can lower eye pressure and protect the optic nerve in people with glaucoma. It is designed for patients whose eye pressure is already controlled by medication.
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 trial tests whether practicing Baduanjin (a traditional gentle exercise) or laughter exercise, combined with artificial tears, helps dry eye disease better than artificial tears alone. You'll be randomly assigned to one of three groups for 3 months.
This study tests whether an online meditation program can help reduce stress in people with glaucoma who are 65 or older. Participants will learn meditation techniques during virtual sessions and practice at home.
This trial tests if adding brimonidine eye drops can reduce eye redness caused by the glaucoma drops you are currently taking. It may help if you have been using netarsudil/latanoprost drops and have noticed redness.
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.
