Recruiting studies
- NCT04424979Recruiting
Testing prism glasses for certain types of visual field loss
This study checks whether different prism “glass” settings are feasible and helpful for people with certain types of vision field loss. You would attend testing sessions lasting about 2–4 hours to see how well the prism glasses can be used safely.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 7–80 - NCT04762368Recruiting
Learning study to improve vision support for macular degeneration
This study focuses on adults with macular degeneration and aims to improve how well you can use your remaining vision. It uses learning and brain stimulation, so it may help you notice and use your vision more effectively.
Waterloo, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04787471RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Corneal laser-strengthening to reduce new blood vessels in the eye
This trial studies corneal crosslinking to treat active inflammation or infection that leads to new blood vessels growing into the cornea. It may help reduce ongoing damage and lower the risk of problems, including issues that can threaten a future corneal transplant.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT04846140Recruiting
Non-invasive brain stimulation to help side vision in glaucoma
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can improve peripheral (side) vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It targets people whose central vision is still relatively preserved but whose side vision has a measurable “gap” on vision testing.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT04851886Recruiting
Vision tool to guide robot therapy for stroke arm posture
This trial tests a vision-based system that detects your arm and posture during robot-assisted upper-arm therapy after a prior stroke. It may help the robot guide treatment more safely and accurately based on your movements and positioning.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07155070RecruitingPhase 4
Can eye drops help LASIK recovery?
This trial tests if Kera Sol Tears eye drops can reduce eye discomfort after LASIK surgery. If you are planning to have LASIK, this study may help you feel better during recovery.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05374460Recruiting
Study of how people learn movements and senses
This study looks at how the brain learns new movement and sensory skills. It may help scientists understand brain/movement learning differences, including after COVID, by comparing people who recently had no COVID symptoms.
Bloomington, IndianaAges 18–45 - NCT05379855Recruiting
Eye drops for eye alignment and double-vision control in children
This study tests eye drops to improve how a child’s eyes line up and how well they can use both eyes together. It may help children with certain types of outward eye drifting (intermittent exotropia/exophoria).
ShanghaiAges 5–14 - NCT05394987Recruiting
Testing new glasses and vision function in amblyopia adults
This study looks at how changing your glasses prescription affects vision and visual function in adults with amblyopia (often called “lazy eye”). It may help researchers understand which optical correction best supports clearer, more balanced vision.
Waterloo, OntarioAges 18–39 - NCT05397873Recruiting
Biofeedback training to improve vision in hemianopia
This trial tests whether guided “biofeedback” training can help people with hemianopia (a vision field loss) improve how they use their remaining vision. You may be asked to complete vision testing and practice exercises while receiving feedback based on your responses.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–90 - NCT05516004RecruitingPhase 2
Cornea strengthening treatment study for thinning corneas
This Phase 2 study tests whether a procedure called PXL‑Platinum 330 can safely and effectively strengthen corneas that are thinning (such as keratoconus or related conditions). It aims to see if the treatment can help stabilize or improve the cornea’s shape while keeping side effects low.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05522972Recruiting
Tests video-game and training therapy for amblyopia
This trial studies whether perceptual learning and video-game style training can improve vision in people with amblyopia (lazy eye). You may be included if you have normal vision or amblyopia, and your eye exam does not show other eye problems that could affect results.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges Any age - NCT05543798Recruiting
MRI-guided heart procedure for dangerous abnormal rhythms
This trial studies a heart rhythm procedure (“ablation”) for people with ischemic cardiomyopathy who have ongoing episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia. It aims to reduce these dangerous rhythm events, especially when standard anti-rhythm medications don’t work or can’t be used.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT05549713Recruiting
Upper eyelid surgery to improve early vision quality
This study looks at whether upper blepharoplasty (surgery to remove excess upper eyelid skin) improves how clearly you see soon after surgery. It’s mainly for people whose extra upper eyelid skin blocks part of their vision and causes eye opening trouble and headaches.
OsijekAges 45–90 - NCT05624398Recruiting
Hydrus stent plus cataract surgery for mild glaucoma
This study looks at outcomes for people with mild glaucoma who need cataract surgery, comparing how well the Hydrus stent works when placed during cataract surgery. The goal is to see whether this combined approach keeps eye pressure and vision stable with fewer issues.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 45 years+ - NCT05695430Recruiting
Brief therapy for thoughts and stress with physical disabilities
This study tests a short kind of counseling called brief cognitive behavioral therapy to help people with physical disabilities and recent suicidal thoughts or attempts. It may help you manage distressing thoughts and feel safer and more in control.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05756959Recruiting
Tested light-based treatment plus special lenses for childhood myopia
This study tests whether combining PBM (a light/laser treatment used in eye studies) with a special myopia-defocus lens can slow nearsightedness in children. It may help reduce how fast eyesight gets worse over time.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 6–13 - NCT05765162Recruiting
Research study on safer, more tailored anesthesia
This study looks at safer anesthesia—meaning medicines used during procedures—using a more personalized approach. It may help make anesthesia safer for adults having medical procedures.
Nykøbing FalsterAges 18–100 - NCT05851287Recruiting
Eye and health check study for adults 65 and older
This study enrolls people age 65+ to get regular eye and general health checkups. It may help doctors understand what eye problems are developing and how to catch them earlier.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 65 years+ - NCT05874258Recruiting
Electric brain stimulation plus vision training for glaucoma
This trial tests whether combining a short vision learning program with non-invasive electrical stimulation to the brain can improve vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It may help by training the visual system while stimulating brain pathways to support vision.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT05885022Recruiting
Testing a glaucoma device during eye surgery planning
This study checks whether the Calibreye System can be used safely and effectively for people with certain types of glaucoma. It may help doctors better assess the eye before treatment, especially for selecting the right surgical approach.
ChennaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05913063Recruiting
Testing how the eye responds to tiny quantum states
This study looks at how the human eye detects very small “quantum” information. It compares people with certain vision conditions to people with normal vision to see how the eye’s macula and overall vision are involved.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for vision?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 173 recruiting vision 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 vision 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 vision 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.
