Recruiting studies
- NCT06982807Recruiting
SMILE laser for stable nearsightedness
This study tests a new laser correction method called SMILE 4.0-VISULYZE to treat nearsightedness and other refractive errors. It may help people who are tired of glasses or contact lenses and want a quick, low-pain vision fix.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–40 - NCT07046065Recruiting
Eye test study for children ages 6 to 12
This study tests a new computer-assisted method for measuring eyeglass prescriptions in children. It may help make the eye exam process faster and more accurate.
Vila Nova de FamalicãoAges 6–12 - NCT07690813Recruiting
AI model to predict nearsightedness with a non-dilated eye exam
This study uses an AI model to predict your nearsightedness prescription using a quick, non-dilated eye exam instead of the usual dilated exam. If you are between 18 and 60, have nearsightedness, and no major eye surgeries or conditions, you may be a good fit.
JiangxiAges 18–47 - NCT07490444RecruitingPhase 2
Better glasses for children with Down syndrome
This trial tests a new way to make eyeglass prescriptions for children with Down syndrome, ages 5 to 12. The goal is to see if it improves their vision.
Columbus, OhioAges 5–12 - NCT06774651Recruiting
Comparing two laser eye surgery methods for vision correction
This trial compares two types of laser eye surgery (CLEAR and SMILE) to see which works better for nearsightedness and astigmatism. If you are eligible, it could help find the best option for your vision.
SingaporeAges 21–50 - NCT06625749Recruiting
AccuraSee lens implant to improve near vision after cataract surgery
This trial tests an artificial lens (AccuraSee IOPCL) placed inside your eye to help you see better up close and at intermediate distances after having cataract surgery. It is for people who still need reading glasses and have a specific type of monofocal lens already in their eye.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22 years+ - NCT07460557Recruiting
Link between jaw shape and vision
This study looks at how the shape of your jaw and face might relate to your eyesight. Healthy young adults aged 21 to 25 are needed to see if there is a connection.
ZagrebAges 21–25 - NCT04077086Recruiting
Glasses program to improve blurry vision in rural schoolchildren
This trial tests whether giving the right glasses to children with myopia (near-sightedness) can improve their eyesight and help them attend school more regularly. Better vision may make it easier to see the board and participate in class.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges Up to 18 years - NCT07176429Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two light adjustable lenses after cataract surgery
This study compares how well two types of light adjustable lenses (LAL and LAL Plus) help you see at different distances after cataract surgery, compared to a standard lens. It aims to see if the light adjustable lens can reduce the need for glasses.
Valencia, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03030755Recruiting
Imaging test and personalized modeling for keratoconus
This trial uses special eye imaging to measure how your cornea (the eye’s clear front surface) changes, and then builds a personalized model for you. It may help doctors plan safer, more tailored treatment for keratoconus—especially if you’re considering LASIK.
Cleveland, OhioAges 16–80 - NCT06631339Recruiting
Light therapy to prevent and control nearsightedness in kids
This study tests if optimizing daily light exposure can prevent or slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It involves wearing a light-tracking device and spending time in specially lit classrooms.
SingaporeAges 7–10 - NCT07512089Recruiting
Blended Vision vs. Monovision LASIK for Reading Age
This study compares two laser eye surgery approaches for people over 40 who need reading glasses. Both methods use LASIK to reduce or eliminate your need for glasses, but they work differently—one eye may be set for distance and one for close-up (monovision), or both eyes may be adjusted for mixed vision (blended vision).
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–55 - NCT07155551Recruiting
Measuring eye changes after wearing special contact lenses for 1 hour
This test checks if a new type of soft contact lens changes the thickness of a layer in your eye (called the choroid) after wearing it for just 1 hour. It may help understand how lenses could slow down nearsightedness.
Waterloo, OntarioAges 18–25 - NCT07354945Recruiting
Study of myopia control lenses in children
This study tests how well children adapt to special myopia control lenses. It aims to see if these lenses are comfortable and easy to wear for kids with nearsightedness.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 6–12 - NCT06997003Recruiting
Study of a new laser for vision correction
This study tests a new laser (called TENEO 317 Model 2) for vision correction. If you're already scheduled for LASIK to fix nearsightedness or farsightedness (with or without astigmatism), you may be eligible. The study checks if this new laser is safe and works well.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractive error correction?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 15 recruiting refractive error correction 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 refractive error correction 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 refractive error correction 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.
