About this trial
This study evaluates the effects of netarsudil (Rhopressa) on the trabecular meshwork in subjects with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. Participants will be randomized to receive either netarsudil or placebo (artificial tears). High-resolution imaging using adaptive optics gonioscopy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), and OCT gonioscopy will be performed at baseline and after approximately 14 days of treatment. The primary objective is to assess changes in trabecular meshwork lamellae spacing, with secondary measures including trabecular meshwork height, width, and Schlemm's canal diameter.
