Reading program to improve reading in glaucoma patients
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a reading program designed to improve reading skills and quality of life for people with glaucoma. If you have glaucoma and some vision loss, this program might help you read more easily and feel better day-to-day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must have one of these glaucoma types: open-angle, angle-closure, normal-tension, or juvenile open-angle – in both eyes.
- Your vision in both eyes needs to be at least 6/60 (which means you can see at 6 meters what a person with normal vision sees at 60 meters).
- You need to be able to read and understand text (literate).
- You must not have other major eye diseases like macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy, and your cataracts must be minor or removed.
- You must not have memory or thinking disorders (like dementia or stroke) or poorly controlled diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how people with glaucoma—a condition that affects side (peripheral) vision—perceive their surroundings. By comparing glaucoma patients to healthy volunteers, researchers hope to understand how losing peripheral vision changes how we see scenes.
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 trial tests a device that may help people who need reading glasses to see nearby objects more clearly without them. It could be an option if you have good distance vision but need help with close-up tasks like reading.
This trial tests if active video games and exercise can help people with glaucoma improve their balance and daily function. It's for people who have stable vision loss and can still walk independently.
This study tests if biofeedback training—a technique that helps you learn to use your remaining vision better—can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It focuses on those with vision loss near the center of their sight.
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.
