Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 4–120 - NCT07548632RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing a new eye drop medicine for dry eye disease
This study tests whether licaminlimab, a new type of eye drop medicine, helps relieve dry eye disease. You'll use the study medicine for several weeks while doctors track how your symptoms and eye health improve.
Garner, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07503886RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an eye drop for dry eye disease
This trial tests a new eye drop called DFL24498 to see if it helps people with dry eye disease. You may qualify if your dry eye is moderate to severe and other treatments haven't worked well for you.
Garner, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06841575Recruiting
Better eye imaging for children and adults at Duke
This study tests a new camera that automatically adjusts to take clear pictures of the back of the eye. It aims to improve retinal imaging for healthy adults, adult eye clinic patients, and children seen at Duke Eye Center.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 1 month+ - NCT07322302Recruiting
Comparing two approaches for repeat eyelash surgery
This study compares two ways of doing repeat surgery for trichiasis (eyelashes turning inward) on the upper eyelid. The surgeries will be done by specially trained eye care workers, and the goal is to see which approach works better.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05150197Recruiting
Virtual reality eye test for children with eye disease
This trial studies whether a virtual reality (VR) eye test can measure a child’s vision field (where they can see) instead of standard testing. It may help clinics test children in a more comfortable way, especially if traditional tests are hard for kids.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 4–21 - NCT06177639Recruiting
A new eye camera designed for children and babies
This trial is testing a new, more comfortable eye camera designed for children and babies. It takes wide-angle pictures of the back of the eye (retina) to see if it works better than current cameras. You or your child can join even if you have healthy eyes or an eye condition.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 4 weeks+ - NCT07124910RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two UV light times for corneal crosslinking
This trial tests two different UV light exposure times (18 minutes vs. 24 minutes) during a corneal crosslinking procedure for people with keratoconus or similar corneal thinning conditions. The goal is to see if the shorter time works as well as the longer one.
Asheville, North CarolinaAges 8 years+ - NCT07135167RecruitingPhase 3
Epi-ON corneal crosslinking study for people with Down syndrome
This study tests a special light treatment for cornea problems in people with Down syndrome. It aims to strengthen the front of the eye and may help prevent vision loss.
Asheville, North CarolinaAges 8 years+ - NCT07425574Recruiting
Study on how Stargardt eye conditions progress in children and adults

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.
