入选标准

  • •Participant must be at least
  • •Clinical diagnosis of glaucoma, with Humphrey Visual Field 24-2 mean deviation (MD) between -22 dB and -5 dB, and Visual Field Index (VFI) between 10% and 90%. The visual field test at screening must meet the following reliability indices:
  • •Fixation losses (FL) ≤ 33%
  • •False-negative rate (FNR) ≤ 20%
  • •False-positive rate (FPR) ≤ 20% At initial screening, the difference in MD between two consecutive visual field tests must be less than 2 dB.
  • •Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥ 0.2 in the worse eye selected for stimulation treatment.
  • •If a participant has two eyes meeting study criteria, one eye will be randomly selected by computer for study participation.
  • •In the opinion of the investigator the participant's eye pressure must be clinically stable.
  • •Participant must has the ability to comply with the requirements of the study and complete the schedule of events.
  • •Participant must understand and sign the informed consent. If the participant's vision is impaired to the point where he/she cannot read the informed consent document, the document will be read to the participant in its entirety.
  • •Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging shows measurable changes in either peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness or macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness.

排除标准

  • •History of ocular herpes.
  • •Pathological nystagmus.
  • •Retinal disease sufficient to affect vision.
  • •Corneal opacity affecting vision.
  • •Cataract affecting vision.
  • •Uveitis or other intraocular inflammatory disease.
  • •Implanted electronic devices such as a pacemaker.
  • •Rheumatologic or autoimmune disease.
  • •Brain tumor or intracranial magnetic metallic implants.
  • •History of epilepsy.
  • •Periocular skin lesions.
  • •Anxiety with Geriatric Anxiety Scale score >
  • •History of claustrophobia.
  • •Participation in another clinical trial within the past 3 months involving medication or training that could affect the eyes.
  • •Physical or mental conditions that may increase the risk of participation or interfere with study assessments (e.g., dementia).
  • •Previous ocular electrical stimulation treatment or visual training study within the past 12 months.
  • •Uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes.
  • •Pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • •History of craniotomy, burr hole surgery, head trauma, intracranial tumor, vascular malformation, or intracranial surgery.
