Eye Diseases clinical trials in Baltimore
We’re tracking 16 recruiting eye diseases studies with a site in or near Baltimore — including Phase 1 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- NCT06874283Recruiting
Eye problems from cancer treatment registry
This study collects information and eye health data from people who have had cancer treatment, including stem cell transplants. It helps doctors understand how cancer therapies affect the eyes over time.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04946721Recruiting
Study of eye-surface disease tests and targeted treatment
This study looks at how an “ocular surface” condition can be identified using tests (biomarkers) and how a targeted treatment may help. You may qualify if you’re an adult receiving eye care at specific University of Maryland locations.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02435940Recruiting
Registry for inherited eye vision conditions
This study is a registry, meaning it collects information about people with inherited retinal (retina) diseases. It may help researchers learn how these conditions progress and connect you with future studies or treatments.
Columbia, MarylandAges Any age - NCT06491615Recruiting
eyeGENE study: genetics of rare eye diseases
This study collects DNA samples and medical information from people with rare inherited eye diseases and their close relatives. The goal is to learn more about the genetic causes of these conditions and improve diagnosis and care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–120 years - NCT01496625Recruiting
Biobank study for retinal diseases and comparison samples
This study collects and stores blood and eye-related medical information to help researchers better understand retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Your samples may also be used to compare people with retinal disease to people without it.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT02821767Recruiting
Study of how different eye problems develop and change over time
This study follows people with eye conditions (including when the diagnosis is unclear) to learn what causes them and how they change. It may help by giving you closer eye evaluations and contributing knowledge that could improve care for future patients.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - NCT02471287Recruiting
Genetics study for inherited eye conditions
This study looks at genes in people with inherited eye conditions and in close family members who may or may not have the condition. It helps researchers understand what causes these eye diseases and how they might be better studied in the future.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1–120 - NCT02617966Recruiting
Test of how rod and cone vision work in eye disease
This study measures how your eyes use two types of light-sensing cells (rods for dim light and cones for clearer detail). It may help researchers better understand retinal (retina) diseases and how well vision is functioning.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–100 - NCT02771236Recruiting
Study of inherited eye conditions in families
This study looks at families who have inherited (passed down) eye conditions, using eye exams and blood tests. It may help researchers understand what causes these conditions and find better ways to diagnose them.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–120 - NCT04289571RecruitingPhase 1
Virtual reality vision testing for people with retinal disease
This early-stage study uses virtual reality tasks to check how well a person can move and function using their eyesight. It may help researchers measure vision abilities in a way that could guide future care for retinal disease.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–120 - NCT01145196Recruiting
Study drug eye damage and genes in Plaquenil users
This study looks at how Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) can harm the retina (the eye’s light-sensing layer) and whether genetics affect who gets affected. You may help by sharing medical details and providing an eye-related blood sample so researchers can compare gene patterns to eye findings.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT01432847Recruiting
Collecting eye-related samples to study eye diseases
This study collects samples like blood and a small skin biopsy (and sometimes urine, hair, or saliva) to better understand causes of eye diseases. The goal is to study eye conditions and may help researchers build better tests or treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–120 years - NCT06275373Recruiting
Teprotumumab for thyroid eye disease study
This study tests if the drug teprotumumab can help with symptoms of thyroid eye disease, such as bulging eyes, pain, or double vision. It is for adults who are beneficiaries of the Department of Defense (DOD).
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00655096Recruiting
Eye disease study screening for participants and family controls
This trial is a general screening step for people who may have an eye (ocular) condition, or for family members of someone with an eye condition. The goal is to help match you to an eye research study by confirming your situation and whether you can safely participate.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT02077894Recruiting
Genetic testing to help identify inherited eye conditions
This study uses whole exome and whole genome genetic tests to look for DNA changes linked to inherited or congenital eye problems. It may help families and doctors better understand the cause of the eye condition and guide future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–120 years - NCT02317328Recruiting
Adaptive eye imaging to take very detailed retinal pictures
This study uses special “adaptive optics” equipment to capture very detailed images of the retina (the nerve layer at the back of the eye). It may help improve eye tests for people with eye disease and also includes some healthy volunteers.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–120

What taking part in a eye diseases 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.
