Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people aged 21 and over who have been diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma. Participants will take part in tests that involve taking special pictures of the retina using adaptive optics technology.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I am 21 years of age or older.
I have been diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma.
I can follow instructions during the imaging process.
I can understand and sign a consent form.
You may not be able to join if
I am under 21 years of age.
I have a condition that makes it hard to get good images.
I have visual correction outside of +4 to -8 diopters.
I have had a bad reaction to mydriatic drops.
I have had acute angle closure glaucoma or a narrow angle.
I do not meet the criteria for primary open angle glaucoma.
I have chronic lung disease that affects oxygen use.
I have tested positive for COVID-19.

Exclusion Criteria:

5. Have a predisposition to (i.e., narrow iridocorneal angle) or any history of acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG).
6. Do not meet the criteria for POAG as defined by the American Academy of Ophthalmology Practice Patterns (cohort 2)
7. Have any health conditions that would contraindicate oxygen supplementation, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, asthma, or any other obstructive or restrictive lung disease (RBF experiment participants only).
8. Have a dependency on oxygen support or a baseline oxygen saturation \<95% (RBF experiment participants only).
9. Have tested positive for COVID-19 at initial enrollment or have acute or chronic photophobia as a result of contraction.
10. Are working under the direct supervision of Dr. Hammer.
