• Participant is receiving systemic steroids or other immunosuppressive medications.

• Participant has evidence of corneal opacification or lack of optical clarity.
• Participant is pregnant or lactating.
• Patients with implanted intracranial metals such as clippings, coilings, ventriculo-peritoneal shunts, endoprosthesis etc.
• Patients with any skin damage in the area of electrode placement.
• Children and comatose patients.
• Patients with uncontrolled high levels of blood pressure (\<160 mmHg) or uncontrolled high levels of intraocular pressure (\<27 mmHg).

• Participant must be at least 18.
• Participant must has the ability to comply with the requirements of the study and complete the schedule of events (SOE).
• Participant's clinical diagnosis must be consistent with primary open angle glaucoma (including but not limited to normal tension, low tension or general open angle) characterized by the following features: Mean deviation (MD) worse than -6 but better than -20 on reliable Humphrey Visual Field 24-2 testing
• Participant's eye pressure must be clinically stable, with IOP \< 18.
• If a participant has two eyes meeting study criteria, the worse eye as determined by visual field index (VFI) or patient preference, will be deemed includable. If both eyes qualify and have the same VFI, the patient may choose which eye they are willing to enter, or else a randomization procedure will assign one eye to the study.
• Participant must understand and sign the informed consent. If the participant's vision is impaired to the point where he/she cannot read the informed consent document, the document will be read to the participant in its entirety.
