Arctic Bioscience - Achieves significant vision improvement in Clinical Glaucoma Study

18 Aug 2025 10:28 CEST

Arctic Bioscience today announced that a clinical study published
in International Ophthalmology demonstrated that daily supplementation with
ROMEGA® herring caviar oil resulted in a statistically significant improvement
in the visual field measure Mean Deviation (MD) in patients with primary open
-angle glaucoma (POAG) and controlled intraocular pressure (IOP). No adverse
events were observed, and the treatment was well tolerated.

About the study

The three-month study included 50 patients. The intervention group received one
ROMEGA® capsule (500mg) daily. Results showed a clear improvement in MD values
in the intervention group (p = 0.01) compared to baseline, while no similar
improvement was observed in the control group. Best-corrected visual acuity and
retinal nerve fiber layer thickness remained stable, and intraocular pressure
was maintained.

Next steps

"These findings suggest that ROMEGA® may be a safe and potentially effective
adjunct to protect vision in glaucoma patients, even when IOP is already
controlled. We are now planning larger, randomized studies to confirm these
promising results", says Hogne Hallaråker, CSO in Arctic Bioscience.
