Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Patients with chronic, primary or secondary, open or closed angle glaucoma, diagnosed by meeting the following criteria:

* Signs of structural damage: thinning of the optical nerve or peripapillary hemorrhage or decrease in the nerve fiber layer that can be seen by OCT.
* Signs of functional damage: 3 points outside 95% of the normal limit on the visual field pattern deviation graph.
2. There must be at least 3 reliable visual fields prior to the start of the study.
3. Patients between 50 and 75 years old, homogeneously distributed among the groups.
4. Glaucoma with functional and structural damage.

* Medium grade, Mean Deviation (MD) between -4 and -20 dB.
* In at least one eye.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Treatment with some other vitamin or nutraceutical preparation.
2. Any pathology that can alter the visual field. (Neurological diseases, retinopathies, advanced cataract, patients treated with lyrica (due to the affectation it produces in the visual field)).
3. Hypersensitivity to aspirin. (Cross-allergic reaction has been reported in patients taking citicoline.)
4. Allergic to fish protein.
5. Eye surgery in the 3 months before or during the study.
