Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- NCT06841575Recruiting
Better eye imaging for children and adults at Duke
This study tests a new camera that automatically adjusts to take clear pictures of the back of the eye. It aims to improve retinal imaging for healthy adults, adult eye clinic patients, and children seen at Duke Eye Center.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 1 month+ - NCT07024719Recruiting
4D microscope OCT during eye surgery study
This trial tests a new microscope that takes 3D images of the eye during surgery. It may help doctors see eye details better while operating.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 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+ - NCT03233646Recruiting
Retina scans in memory and nerve disorders
This study uses pictures of the back of your eye (retinal imaging) to look for differences in people with neurodegenerative diseases and compares them with people without these conditions. It may help researchers understand eye changes that could connect to brain or nerve health.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06139523Recruiting
Improving eye imaging in adults and children
This study aims to improve how we take pictures of the back of the eye (called OCT imaging) in both healthy adults and children. It will help doctors get better images to diagnose and manage eye conditions.
Durham, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT05589714Recruiting
Study your rare eye gene and track retinal disease over time
This study builds a registry and tracks the natural history of rare retinal dystrophies while also testing people for disease-causing gene variants. It may help researchers better understand what causes retinal degeneration and how it progresses.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 4 years+ - NCT07425106Enrolling by invitation
Comparing a low-cost eye scanner for Alzheimer's research
This study uses a special, low-cost eye scanner to look at the back of the eye (retina) in people with early Alzheimer's or mild memory problems. It aims to find changes that might help with early detection.

What taking part in a retinal disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there retinal disease clinical trials in North Carolina?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 7 recruiting retinal disease studies with a site in North Carolina, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a retinal disease study in North Carolina?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in North Carolina to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in North Carolina, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a retinal disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New retinal disease studies open in North Carolina regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
