NCT03949244

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to look at the relationship of small blood vessels irregularities observed with an imaging system called video nailfold capillaroscopy in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. Nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) is a video camera with a magnifying lens used for studying the movement of blood in small blood vessels. It is simple, safe and does not penetrate the skin. The skin fold that is at the tip of the finger is called the "nailfold". NFC has been used to assess blood vessel narrowing in patients with glaucoma.

Masking Details
Patients will have baseline NFC blood flow measurements after application of cedar oil. Then the study team will use NF application of either normal saline, latanoprost 0.005% or LTB 0.024% in random sequence. The patient and imager will know which study article is applied. NFC blood flow will be remeasured after 15 minutes. Preliminary data on controls suggests that 15 minutes is sufficient time to see a change in blood flow. NF article application will occur on a specially designed well applied to the 4th digit of the non-dominant hand. Two masked observers will evaluate NFC blood flow.
