15Intervention

i Types of intervention

Procedure

Please specify

ii Description/ name of Intervention/article

A registered optometrist will collect tears sample from newly diagnosed glaucoma patients' both eyes. The procedure takes around 30 minutes. Ten to fifteen microliters tear will be obtained from the right lateral canthus of each subject using glass capillary tubes.

iii Dosage form of the intervention

Ten to fifteen microliters tear will be obtained from the right lateral canthus of each subject using glass capillary tubes.

iv Dosage of the intervention

Ten to fifteen microliters tear will be obtained from the right lateral canthus of each subject using glass capillary tubes.

v Duration of the intervention

Around 30 minutes

vi Frequency of the intervention

Once

16Comparative Treatments
