INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy with retinal ganglion cell loss which leads to visual field loss. Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma. The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the treatment of visual field defects using transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES) with the OkuStim 2 System in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, pigment dispersion glaucoma or normal tension glaucoma.
