Recruiting studies
- NCT06520410RecruitingPhase 4
Short vitrectomy tool for children's eye surgery

Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 3–18 - NCT06771908Recruiting
Eye drops to prevent infection after eye surgery
This trial tests if an eye drop called Zamidine® can help prevent infections in people who have a history of repeated eye infections (conjunctivitis) and are about to have eye surgery. The goal is to see if it safely reduces the risk of surgery-related eye infections.
RomeAges 18–90 - NCT07176949Recruiting

Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 3–6 - NCT06394232RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a cell therapy for advanced dry AMD with geographic atrophy
This trial tests a new treatment called Eyecyte-RPE™, made from special cells that support the retina. It is given as a single injection under the retina during eye surgery. The study aims to see if it can help people with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who have large areas of damage (geographic atrophy) in the center of their vision.
Jālna, MaharashtraAges 50–100 - NCT03666052Enrolling by invitation
Study for kids with severe nearsightedness in Shanghai
This study registers children and teens in Shanghai who have significant nearsightedness, to better track eye health over time. It may help researchers understand why high myopia develops and how to prevent or monitor complications.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 4–18 - 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 - NCT06710574RecruitingPhase 4
Probiotics for sleep problems in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether taking probiotics can improve REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) in people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive either a probiotic supplement or a placebo, and researchers will use brain scans to see how it affects your symptoms.
BeijingAges 40–85 - NCT07716397Recruiting
MRI study for thyroid eye disease diagnosis and care
This study uses MRI scans of the eye area to better understand and classify thyroid eye disease (TED). It aims to help doctors predict outcomes and personalize treatment. You may be eligible if you have stable TED or are a healthy volunteer.
Shanghai, Huangpu DistrictAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT07329712Recruiting
Light therapy for dry eye: tear protein study
This trial tests whether low-level light therapy can improve dry eye disease by measuring changes in tear proteins. It may help people with chronic dry eye who are interested in a non-drug treatment.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07566975Recruiting
How VEVYE Helps Dry Eye in Neuro-Eye Patients
This study tracks whether VEVYE®, a prescription eye drop, reduces dry eye symptoms and signs in people who have both a neuro-ophthalmic condition (a nerve or brain issue affecting the eyes) and dry eye disease. You'll visit the clinic for 6 months and answer questions about your eye comfort.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03455478Recruiting
Study of adult vision health in Shanghai residents
This study looks at the eye health of adults who live in Shanghai. It may help researchers understand vision problems in the local population and improve future eye care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT07135570Recruiting
My Eyes, My Light: Amar Chokh, Amar Alo
This trial is studying people living in Char Fasson, Bangladesh, to see who might have undiagnosed eye problems. It's a local screening program to catch eye issues early.
Char Fasson, BholaAges 35 years+ - NCT07430735Recruiting
Moisture chamber glasses for dry eye relief
This trial tests a special pair of glasses that create a moisture chamber to relieve dry eye symptoms. It is for adults with mild to moderate dry eye who already wear glasses.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07571330Recruiting
Upper Tear Drain Plug for Dry Eye After Lower Plug
This trial tests whether adding a plug to your upper tear drain (in addition to an existing lower plug) helps severe dry eye. It may improve comfort by reducing tear loss.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 18 years+ - NCT06810011Recruiting
Eye disease treatment study using medical records
This study uses a computer system to look at medical records of people who have had a certain type of eye injection. It aims to improve how information about eye treatments is shared and understood.
Chemnitz, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT07746778Recruiting
School program to slow nearsightedness in children
This study tests whether a school-based program can help slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are either already nearsighted or at risk of becoming nearsighted. It may help reduce the need for stronger glasses in the future.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 6–11 - NCT07745062RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two eye drops for mild to moderate dry eye
This study tests two types of preservative-free eye drops to see which is more effective for people with mild to moderate dry eye disease. You will use one of the drops as directed, and the study will monitor your symptoms and eye health over time.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04663750RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery to treat bleeding under the retina in wet macular degeneration
This trial tests whether a specific eye surgery plus targeted clot-busting medicine and gas can improve vision after bleeding under the retina from “wet” age-related macular degeneration. It aims to reduce how long the bleeding lasts and help protect the central vision.
BonnAges 50–120 - NCT04936854RecruitingPhase 2
Sirolimus or steroid drops for active Graves eye disease
This Phase 2 study compares sirolimus versus corticosteroids to treat active thyroid eye disease. It aims to see which treatment works better to calm eye inflammation and improve symptoms, without needing urgent eye surgery.
Bergen, HordalandAges 18–80 - NCT05147701RecruitingPhase 1
Testing stem cell treatment for NAION safety

St John'sAges Any age - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for eye diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 181 recruiting eye diseases studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a eye diseases trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a eye diseases trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
