This observational study, called the Diagnostic Innovations in Glaucoma Study (DIGS), aims to better understand how glaucoma (increased pressure inside the eye that can cause vision loss) affects vision and the structure of the back of the eye. Researchers are looking for the best ways to detect glaucoma and track its progression, especially in people with or without myopia (nearsightedness). They also want to see how glaucoma impacts daily life and quality of life. The study is open to adults aged 18 and older, including healthy individuals, those at risk for glaucoma, and those already diagnosed with glaucoma, with or without myopia. The goal is to improve how we manage glaucoma.
