Anton A, Garcia V, Munoz M, Gonzales K, Morilla-Grasa A
Published in Life
Methodology
Single-blind randomized controlled pilot trial of oral citicoline plus DHA versus no supplementation added to standard therapy in open-angle glaucoma with progressive field loss
Key Findings
Patients receiving citicoline plus DHA showed slower visual field progression on mean deviation and pattern standard deviation than controls
Conclusions
Oral citicoline with DHA may slow functional visual field progression as an adjunct to standard therapy
Limitations
Single-blind pilot; small sample; open control arm
Supplements Studied
The role of nutraceuticals in the treatment of glaucoma remains controversial.
