This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether Baduanjin—a gentle, slow-moving exercise routine designed for older adults—can help lower the eye pressure that damages vision in glaucoma. Researchers will have some older adults with glaucoma practice Baduanjin for eight weeks to see if it improves their eye health, while others will be monitored without the exercise to compare results.
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition where increased pressure inside the eye can cause permanent vision loss. Doctors are exploring whether safe, affordable exercise programs could help manage this pressure and protect patients' eyesight alongside or instead of other treatments.

If you are selected, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will practice Baduanjin exercise for 60 minutes each day, every day except Fridays, for eight weeks. The other group will be placed on a waiting list and monitored without doing the exercise program. Researchers will check your eye pressure and other measures to see whether the exercise group's vision and eye health improve compared to those who did not exercise.
