Two primary care-based screening systems will be tested to identify subjects with referrable glaucoma to hospital care. Subjects between 45 to 64 years old living in the metropolitan area of Barcelona will be invited to participate in a one-time visit, with an optic disc examination and intraocular pressure (IOP). The …
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether oral supplementation with different nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) precursors can improve visual function in adults with primary open-angle glaucoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does daily oral administration of equimolar doses of nicotinamide riboside (NR), nicotinamide (NAM), …
This study aims to evaluate the effects of BrudyGlauco, a nutritional supplement containing DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and citicoline, on visual function in people with glaucoma. Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy that can lead to vision loss. Current treatments focus on lowering eye pressure, but there are other pathogenic factors …
This pilot study evaluates the biomechanical properties of the cornea in glaucoma patients using Brillouin microscopy, a non-contact imaging technique. The study aims to compare corneal stiffness between patients with normal-tension glaucoma, high-tension glaucoma, and healthy controls, and to assess changes in corneal biomechanics following intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering treatment. The …
Glaucoma is a chronic disease of the optic nerve, characterized by progressive loss of nerve cells in the retina, leading to progressive loss of peripheral and central vision. There are in fact several types of glaucoma, which is the world's second leading cause of blindness after cataracts, and the leading …
This study aims to determine whether a combination of vitamins (B6, B9, B12, and choline) can help protect the eyes of people with glaucoma and slow vision loss. The study will assess whether these vitamins support retinal cells and maintain or improve their function. Adults aged 18 and older with …
Glaucoma is characterized by a progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) leading to optic nerve head (ONH) damage and associated visual field defects. The main risk factor for glaucoma is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Reducing IOP slows down the progression of the disease as several large multicenter trials have …
This observational study will compare proteomic and elemental profiles of aqueous humor and ocular tissues in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and cataract versus cataract controls without glaucoma. Samples collected during standard surgery will be analyzed using LC-MS/MS and ICP-MS. The goal is to identify glaucoma-associated molecular patterns with …
To evaluate glaucoma patients' response to treatment with Xiidra, an FDA-approved drug for ocular surface discomfort, which will be prescribed as standard of care treatment.
The glycocalyx is a fibrillary lining structure that covers the inner surface of blood vessels. Composed of glycoproteins and polysaccharides, it is an essential determinant of vascular endothelial physiology: it limits coagulation activation and adapts capillary perfusion. Studies have shown glycocalyx alteration in various vascular and autoimmune pathologies such as …
