Eye surface health in people on long-term glaucoma drops
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how long-term use of glaucoma eye drops may affect the surface of the eye (the clear front layer). It aims to find out if these drops cause dry-eye or other surface problems, which can help doctors better manage treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how glaucoma and its treatments affect the surface of the eye and proteins in tears. It may help find better ways to manage eye health in people with glaucoma.
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 looks at how certain glaucoma eye drops affect the surface of your eye. It tests a new implant that may reduce damage and improve comfort.
This study looks at a thin “sugar coating” on the inside surface of the eye (the endothelial glycocalyx) in people with primary open-angle glaucoma and compares it with people without optic nerve disease. The results may help researchers better understand how glaucoma affects the eye.
This study tests whether insulin eye drops can safely help dry eye in people who also use eye drops for glaucoma. It may offer a new option if you have both conditions and your eye pressure is stable.
This study uses a special microscope to look at the surface of your eye to help doctors better diagnose dry eye disease. If you have dry eye symptoms or healthy eyes, you may be able to join.
