Optic Nerve Head Strain as Biomarker for Glaucoma


Sponsor

Johns Hopkins University

Enrollment

130 participants

Start Date

Jul 1, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The investigators will test the hypothesis that images of the optic nerve head taken a 2 different eye pressures will yield strain estimates that are predictive of the course of glaucoma.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 90 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is measuring strain on the optic nerve head (the spot where the optic nerve connects to the back of the eye) to see if it can serve as an early warning sign (biomarker) for glaucoma. Glaucoma is a disease that damages the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss, and detecting it early is critical. **You may be eligible if...** - You are an existing glaucoma patient at Johns Hopkins - You are able to undergo eye imaging - You can communicate in English - You have no significant hearing impairment **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are unable to undergo the required eye imaging - You are not able to read or are illiterate - You have significant hearing impairment - You do not speak English Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
