Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Intraocular pressure (IOP) remains the only modifiable risk factor for glaucoma. Without sufficient IOP lowering therapy, glaucoma induces retinal ganglion cell death and visual field loss. Pattern electroretinography (pERG) measurements directly correlate with retinal ganglion cell (RGC) signaling, providing an objective, repeatable, and non-invasive assessment of RGC function. The purpose of the study is to investigate the pERG changes associated with acute IOP reduction using the Mercury™ Multi-Pressure Dial (MPD). 10 patients will be enrolled. These subjects will have a best corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better in both eyes and an established diagnosis of one of either mild/moderate OAG (open-angle glaucoma), OHT (ocular hypertension), or glaucoma suspect. Both eyes will be enrolled in the study. The study eye will receive a standardized 10 mmHg decrease in periorbital pressure via the Mercury™ Multi-Pressure Dial (MPD), and the fellow/control eye will receive no (zero) pressure application. Total google wear time will be 4.5 hours. Serial pERG measurements will be taken before, immediately after, and 2 hours after negative pressure application.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Experimental Eye | Experimental | 10 mmHg of negative pressure is applied to the periocular microenvironment. This is achieved by programming the Mercury™ Multi-Pressure Dial (MPD) such that only one goggle receives negative pressure. |
|
| Control Eye | Placebo Comparator | The opposing eye serves as the intrasubject control for each participant. No negative pressure is applied to the periocular microenvironment. This is achieved by programming the Mercury™ Multi-Pressure Dial (MPD) such that the other goggle does not receive negative pressure. |

| Mercury™ Multi-Pressure Dial (MPD) Experimental Goggle | Device | The Mercury™ MPD applies negative pressure to one of the two goggles inducing an IOP reduction of 10 mmHg. This is randomized for each subject in the trial. The Mercury™ MPD consists of:

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pattern Electroretinography (pERG) Alterations | Mercury™ MPD alters IOP in study eyes of subjects per controlled reduction of pressure. pERG changes induced by the Mercury™ MPD will provide insight into changes in retinal ganglion cells after wearing Mercury™ MPD with negative pressure applied anterior to the orbital rim. | 0 hours; 4.5 hours; 6.5 hours |
