Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
To that end, patients between the ages of 8-17 with Glaucoma or glaucoma suspect diagnosis will be recruited from the clinic with consent from their parents and assent from the patient to participate in the study. They will come in on two scheduled dates after being randomized to either a control or experimental group. On the first date, the participants assigned to the control group will complete the Visual Field Exams (VFE) without music, and the experimental group will listen to music and complete a pre and posttest survey regarding test taking experience. On the second date, the groups will switch and the participant will complete the other part of the study. Results will then be analyzed and compared between the groups and previous results.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Music Group (first)
This arm will involve the use of music during their initial VFE, and then they will take part in the non-music group during their second visit.
Music intervention
The intervention will involve patient-chosen music.
Non-Music Group (first)
This arm will involve the completion of the VFE with no music first, and then they will crossover and complete the arm involving the use of music during the visual field exam.
Music intervention
The intervention will involve patient-chosen music.
