Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- NCT07222150Recruiting
Comparing corneal clarity and thickness in cataract patients
This study looks at how clear and thick the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) is in people with cataracts. It may help doctors understand more about eye health during cataract treatment.
Matthews, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07610226Recruiting
Cataract Surgery Lens for Prior Myopic Eye Surgery
This study tests a special intraocular lens (an artificial lens implanted during cataract surgery) designed for patients who had prior myopic refractive surgery (LASIK or PRK to correct nearsightedness). The goal is to achieve the best possible vision correction after cataract removal.
Greensboro, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03047369Recruiting
Myelin brain disorder research biobank for samples and data
This study collects brain-related medical information and biological samples to help researchers better understand leukodystrophies and other white-matter brain disorders. It may help future diagnosis and treatments by building a valuable “biobank” of patient data and samples.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT03713268Recruiting
Using a scan to guide eye surgery in real time
This trial tests whether a special eye scan (OCT) can help guide eye surgery during the operation. It may improve how surgeons see and target the exact eye structures they need to treat.

What taking part in a cataract study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
