Diabetes eye health observation study
This study observes how diabetes affects vision over time in people with diabetes. It helps doctors better understand eye health without any treatment or intervention.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03821467Recruiting
Eye scan study to test a new imaging method in healthy adults
This study checks whether a specific eye-scanning technology gives consistent, repeatable results. It enrolls healthy adults to see if the test works reliably before being used more broadly.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–35 - NCT05650905Recruiting
Eye and blood-vessel function study after COVID-19
This study measures how well the nerves in your retina and the tiny blood vessels in your eye “couple” (work together) after COVID-19. It may help researchers understand eye-related effects of COVID-19 and long COVID, and how these processes change over time.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06976034Recruiting
High-resolution eye camera study for eye conditions
This study uses a new type of eye camera to take very detailed pictures of the front of the eye (cornea, lens, and nearby areas). It is for people with certain eye conditions or for healthy volunteers.
ParisAges 18–80 - NCT06687356Recruiting
Using OCT during lens surgery for better results
This study uses a special imaging technique called optical coherence tomography (OCT) during lens surgery to help doctors see inside your eye more clearly. It may be a good option if you need surgery for a cataract or a lens that is out of place.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT03870230Recruiting
Study of eye blood-flow signals in glaucoma and healthy eyes
This study compares eye blood-flow/brain-eye communication signals in people with glaucoma (or high eye pressure) versus people with normal eye tests. It may help researchers understand how glaucoma develops and progresses.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT03401879Recruiting
Study eye blood-flow changes in multiple sclerosis
This study measures how blood flow in the eye changes in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who previously had optic neuritis. The goal is to understand eye/brain blood-flow signals and how they may relate to MS.
