A Randomized, Sham Controlled, Masked Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Alternating Current Stimulation Using the Eyetronic System for the Treatment of Glaucoma
Stanford University
Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, transorbital alternating current stimulation (rtACS) using the EYETRONIC for the treatment in patients with glaucoma.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant must be at least 18. * Participant must has the ability to comply with the requirements of the study and complete the schedule of events (SOE). * Participant's clinical diagnosis must be consistent with primary open angle glaucoma (including but not limited to normal tension, low tension or general open angle) characterized by the following features: Mean deviation (MD) worse than -6 but better than -20 on reliable Humphrey Visual Field 24-2 testing * Participant's eye pressure must be clinically stable, with IOP \< 18. * If a participant has two eyes meeting…
Interventions
- DeviceEyetronic rtACS
The repetitive, transorbital alternating current stimulation (rtACS) is a device for non-invasive Interventional Neurophysiology. The electrical charge and current density applied during rtACS safe and able to modulate existing neuronal elements in the eye and brain.
- DeviceSham rtACS
Participants will wear the Eyetronic system but there will be no active stimulations applied.
