Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This is a prospective, randomized, double blinded, and parallel group study aimed at investigating the effect of Vitamin D supplementation on serum levels of cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone in patients of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). It will be conducted in the Institute of Ophthalmology JNMCH, AMU, Aligarh, India.  
The intervention/study group will be administered 60,000 IU of Vitamin D3, once weekly, for a period of 12 weeks. At the end of supplementation serum levels of hormones and effect on IOP on study and control groups will be analysed.
The primary objective is to study the effect of Vitamin D supplementation on the serum levels of cortisol, estrogen and testosterone in patients of POAG.
The secondary objectives are to study the effect of Vitamin D supplementation on control of intraocular pressure and to compare the levels of serum cortisol, estrogen, testosterone between diabetic and non-diabetic patients of POAG.
