Vision testing in people with recent brain injury
This study tests a new device called the Traq™ that looks at how well the two eyes work together. It's for people with a recent mild-to-moderate brain injury and for people without one, to see if the device can spot vision changes after injury.
Waukee, IowaAges 12 years+ - NCT06643338Recruiting
Testing AI to spot eye nerve conditions in the ER
This trial is testing a new computer system that uses photographs of the back of your eye (color fundus photos) to help doctors quickly identify certain nerve or vision problems in the emergency room. If you come to the specific hospital and meet the basic requirements, this study will take pictures of your eyes to see if the AI can spot conditions more accurately.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07653074Recruiting
Vision and quality of life in youth with myopia or CVI
This study looks at how vision problems like nearsightedness (myopia) and a brain-based vision condition (CVI) affect daily life and well-being in children. It aims to understand what support they might need to thrive in a modern world.

Eye scans to check liver disease and transplant outlook
This study uses advanced eye scans to see if your eyes can give clues about your chronic liver disease and how well you might do after a liver transplant. If you have advanced liver disease or cirrhosis, and are maybe waiting for a transplant, you may join.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06758648Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ophthalmology?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 44 recruiting ophthalmology 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 ophthalmology 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 ophthalmology 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.
