Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if nicotinamide (NAM, vitamin B3) supplementation can delay glaucoma progression 30% above that achieved with conventional glaucoma treatment using topical medication. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Can NAM supplementation improve the visual function of patients with glaucoma measured by visual field perimetry?

Researchers will compare NAM to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if NAM works as an adjuvant in glaucoma treatment.

Participants will:

* Take NAM or a placebo every day for 2 years
* Visit the clinic once every 3-4 months for checkups and tests
