Dry eye relief and comfort after cataract surgery
This study tests a treatment called Lacrifill to see if it helps reduce dry eye symptoms after cataract surgery. You would receive the treatment after your surgery to see if it improves comfort and eye health.
Pittsburg, KansasAges 18–80 - NCT07510087Recruiting
Glaucoma and quality of life study
This study examines how glaucoma affects day-to-day life. It asks people with any type of glaucoma to complete a questionnaire about their quality of life.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06780293RecruitingPhase 2
Laser acupuncture for dry eye and Sjogren's dry eye
This study tests if laser acupuncture can help people with dry eye symptoms, including those with Sjogren's syndrome, which causes dryness in the eyes and mouth. It may be a good fit if you have dry eye or Sjogren's and meet the age and eye test requirements.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 20–75 - NCT06919081RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell eye drops for chronic cornea problems
This study tests whether a special substance from stem cells (called secretome) can help heal chronic surface problems on the eye that haven't gotten better with standard treatments. It's for people with a stubborn scratch or defect on the cornea that has lasted more than 14 days.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06466018Recruiting
Eye disorder biomarkers study for European adults
This study looks for new ways to diagnose and track eye disorders using imaging and genetic tests. It may help find better treatments for conditions linked to blood vessel and nerve problems in the eye.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07608367Recruiting
Hydrogel glue for eye surface repair surgery
This trial tests a new hydrogel glue that may replace stitches during eye surface repair surgery. It could help your eye heal faster and more comfortably after procedures like pterygium removal or corneal repair.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–85 - NCT06984549Recruiting
Dry eye detection via smartphone camera
This study tests if a smartphone can take clear pictures and videos of your eyes to help doctors check for dry eye disease. It may be a simpler way to evaluate dryness from home.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07780890Recruiting
Measuring eye hydration with light
This study uses a non-invasive imaging technique called Brillouin hydration mapping to measure hydration levels in different parts of the eye. It aims to help doctors better understand how hydration affects eye health and disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 20–79 - NCT02821767Recruiting
Eye disease natural history study
This study observes people with various eye conditions to understand how they progress and to help improve future treatments. It may help you learn more about your condition and contribute to medical knowledge.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT05414994Recruiting
Study eye bacteria in healthy and eye disease
This study compares the tiny living organisms (“ocular microbiome,” meaning eye-surface bacteria) in different eye conditions. It may help researchers understand how these eye bacteria relate to diseases and why some people develop problems with vision.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07869498Recruiting
Eye bacteria study for eyelid inflammation
This study looks at the bacteria on the eyelids of people with moderate to severe eyelid inflammation (blepharitis). It aims to understand if these bacteria are linked to the condition, which could lead to better treatments.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 4 weeks+ - NCT04634383Recruiting
Testing a brain-connected implant to help some blind people see
This early safety study tests an implanted device placed in the brain to help people with very limited sight (no or minimal light). It focuses on whether the implant can be safely used and whether it may support vision-related signals over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 19–70 - NCT07794800Recruiting
Observing eye complications after stem cell transplant
This study observes patients who have had a stem cell transplant to understand and monitor chronic graft-versus-host disease affecting the eyes. It aims to learn more about this condition to improve future care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 14 years+ - 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 - NCT07605572Recruiting
GLP-1 drugs and dry eye disease in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether a diabetes and weight-loss medication called GLP-1 receptor agonists affects dry eye disease. Researchers want to see if this medication helps or worsens dry eyes in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT07363824Recruiting
Tear iron and dry eye severity study
This study looks at how iron levels in tears relate to the severity of dry eye disease. It aims to find a simple way to measure dry eye severity, which could help doctors better understand and treat the condition.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT07332988Enrolling by invitation
Light therapy for dry eyes in Graves' disease
This trial tests if low-level light therapy can improve dry eye symptoms in people with Graves' disease whose dry eyes haven't gotten better with standard treatments like artificial tears.
Iași, IaşiAges 18 years+ - NCT06733077Recruiting
Digital services for Parkinson's disease
This study is developing digital services for people with Parkinson's disease and also includes healthy volunteers. It aims to understand movement problems like freezing of gait and festination, and uses a virtual reality system to measure these issues.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ocular diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 45 recruiting ocular 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 ocular 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 ocular 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.
