Virtual reality headset as a monitor for medical procedures
This study tests whether using the Apple Vision Pro virtual reality headset as a monitor during medical procedures is safe and effective. It may help doctors see better during procedures, but you need to meet specific vision and health requirements.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07790185RecruitingPhase 4
LASIK for nearsightedness: measuring vision and satisfaction
This study tests how well a new type of LASIK (called ray-tracing-guided) improves vision in low light and how satisfied patients are with the results. It is for people with mild to moderate nearsightedness who want to stop wearing glasses or contacts.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges 18–45 - NCT07790211RecruitingPhase 4
Eye drop for tear film stability
This study tests an eye drop to help stabilize the natural tear film on the surface of the eye. It may help people who have normal tear production but could benefit from better tear film stability.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07788521Recruiting
Comparing two multifocal contact lenses for reading and distance
This trial compares two daily disposable multifocal contact lenses to see which one provides better vision for reading and distance. If you need multifocal contacts for presbyopia (age-related difficulty focusing on close objects), this study might help you find a more comfortable or clearer option.
Longwood, FloridaAges 40–70 - NCT07756385Recruiting
Comparing two cataract surgery systems
This study compares two different machines used for cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) to see if one is better. If you're having cataract surgery on both eyes, this trial might help improve your treatment.
ZagrebAges 18 years+ - NCT07744425Enrolling by invitation
Surgical imaging device study
This study tests a new camera that helps surgeons see tissues more clearly during surgery. It may help improve surgical precision and safety.
