Lamina Cribrosa Depth Change With Change in Eye Pressure

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Glaucoma, Open-Angle
Interventions
Other: wearing swimming goggles or having laser suturelysis
Registration Number
NCT03267849
Lead Sponsor
Johns Hopkins University
Brief Summary

This is a study of the compliance of the lamina cribrosa with change in eye pressure.

Detailed Description

Glaucoma patients and control subjects will have their internal eye structure (lamina cribrosa) imaged by optical coherence tomography (OCT) standard images at two different eye pressures. In some participants, the eye pressure will be changed by one of two interventions, wearing goggles or having laser suturelysis
