What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
This observational study will compare proteomic and elemental profiles of aqueous humor and ocular tissues in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and cataract versus cataract controls without glaucoma. Samples collected during standard surgery will be analyzed using LC-MS/MS and ICP-MS. The goal is to identify glaucoma-associated molecular patterns with potential diagnostic or prognostic relevance.
