Brain stimulation for better mobility in vision loss
This study tests whether a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called tDCS) can help people with vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa, rod-cone dystrophy, or advanced glaucoma move around more easily and safely. Participants will do walking and orientation tasks while receiving the stimulation.
Waterloo, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03011541Recruiting
Stem cell treatment for damaged retina or optic nerve

Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07577219Recruiting
Vision Training With Feedback for Central Vision Loss
This study teaches people with central vision loss (blurred or missing spots in the middle of vision) how to use their remaining side vision better, using special training with audio and visual feedback. It may help improve how well you can read and recognize faces.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 14 years+ - NCT05921240Enrolling by invitation
Study on access to vision care for young people with vision needs
This study looks at what gets in the way of getting vision services for children and teens with special vision needs. It will help identify barriers and solutions by using questionnaires and interviews in Chinese.
TaipeiAges 19–99 - NCT07762911Recruiting
MRI-based prostate cancer screening follow-up
This study is a follow-up for men already in the VISIONING prostate cancer screening program. It uses MRI scans to check for prostate cancer over 5 more years, helping catch any changes early.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 50 years+ - NCT05863208Recruiting

Vision therapy trial for intermittent outward eye turning
This trial tests whether a structured vision therapy program can improve control of intermittent outward eye turning (intermittent exotropia) in children. You may be placed into one of the study groups (randomized), and the results will help doctors understand who benefits most and how well it works.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 8–16 - NCT07084545Recruiting

This trial tests a special lens (CT LUCIA) for people who had laser vision correction in the past and now need cataract surgery. It aims to see how well the lens works in these patients.
Sugar Land, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06697106Recruiting
Can an anti-inflammatory drug prevent urethral stricture recurrence?
This trial tests if taking a COX-2 inhibitor (a type of anti-inflammatory) after a procedure to widen a narrowed urethra can lower the chances of the narrowing coming back. It may help men with a short first-time stricture.
New Valley, New Valley GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06651736Recruiting
Low vision rehab for people with inherited eye disease and distress
This study tests a 10-week low vision rehabilitation program for people with inherited retinal diseases who also feel emotionally distressed. The goal is to see if the program improves daily function and emotional well-being.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06529367Recruiting
