Volunteers Helping to Save Sight in Stanford Clinical Trial
Volunteers in a Stanford University clinical trial – supported through National Glaucoma Research, a BrightFocus Foundation program – are helping evaluate the effectiveness of a capsule, implanted in the eye, with the potential to protect against damage to the optic nerve, and possibly enhance vision lost to glaucoma.

Clinical Trials: Your Questions Answered
Clinical trials play a critical role in the development of new treatments and are the culmination of years, often decades, of work done by researchers to find ways to slow, treat, or even cure glaucoma. Unlike earlier phases of research, clinical trials are completely dependent on the volunteer participation of patients and others who are personally invested in seeing new treatments become available.
