Vision-Focused Occupational Therapy for Elementary School Children
This study tests whether a special occupational therapy program can help improve visual skills in 3rd and 4th grade children. The program focuses on activities that strengthen how children see and use their eyes in daily tasks.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 8–10 - NCT07038967Recruiting
Cataract surgery and diabetic macular edema progression
This trial studies how diabetic macular edema (swelling in the center of the retina) might change after cataract surgery. It may help doctors understand if surgery is safe for people with this condition.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07642687Recruiting
Eye Muscle Training for Outward-Turning Eyes in Young People
This study tests whether a special near-vision training exercise can help improve control of eyes that turn outward (a condition called intermittent exotropia). The training focuses on the eye muscles' ability to work together at different distances, and may help reduce the need for surgery.
Hong KongAges 6–25 - NCT07005323Recruiting
New treatment for resistant wet AMD
This trial tests a new treatment for people with a hard-to-treat form of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that has not improved with standard anti-VEGF injections. It aims to stop the disease from getting worse and possibly improve vision.
Ube, YmaguchiAges 50–85 - NCT07322211Recruiting
Testing a new daily disposable contact lens
This trial tests a new daily disposable silicone hydrogel contact lens for people with moderate nearsightedness. It will check if the lens is safe, comfortable, and gives good vision.
Kaohsiung CityAges 3 weeks+ - NCT07705061Recruiting
Eye protrusion measurement in Mexican adults
This study measures normal eye protrusion values using a device called a Hertel exophthalmometer in Mexican adults. It helps establish reference ranges for future eye care.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07532642Recruiting
Head Position Changes With Special Vision Lenses
This study tests whether special prismatic lenses (lenses that bend light in a specific way) can help improve head and neck posture in people with Postural Deficiency Syndrome. Researchers will take X-rays and measurements before and after using these lenses to see if your head position improves.
Lisbon, Lisbon DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT07568704Recruiting
Comparing New Eye Imaging Technology With Standard Methods
This study evaluates a new retinal imaging device (Intalight Dream OCTA) by comparing its images with standard eye imaging methods. If you have a retinal condition that requires imaging tests, this trial helps doctors understand how well the new technology works.
Houston, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT07550907Recruiting
Cataract Surgery Outcomes and Surgical Technique Study
This study examines how different surgical approaches during cataract removal affect your vision and eye health after surgery. If you need cataract surgery, this trial may help doctors understand which techniques work best for patients like you.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 50–90 - NCT07484659Recruiting
Reducing waiting time for cataract surgery
This trial is testing a new way to reduce waiting time for cataract surgery. It may help you get your surgery sooner.
Guwahati, AssamAges 20 years+ - NCT07360470Recruiting
Eye area anatomy study using medical images
This study looks at medical images of the eye area to better understand its anatomy. It may help researchers improve how they assess eye-related conditions.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT07423429Recruiting
Switching to Aflibercept 8 mg for wet AMD
This trial tests if switching to a higher dose of aflibercept (Eylea) can help people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who need frequent eye injections. If you've been on other anti-VEGF injections for over a year and still need them more often than every 12 weeks, this study might offer a new option.
Nantes, NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT07244276Recruiting
Comparing stitches for pterygium surgery
This trial tests a new way of stitching the eye after pterygium removal to see if it works better than the usual method. If you have a pterygium that needs surgery, this study might be for you.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 30–70 - 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+ - NCT07141589Recruiting
Comparing pain relievers added to numbing for eye surgery
This study compares two medicines (fentanyl and ketorolac) added to the numbing injection used during eye surgery. The goal is to see which one works better to reduce pain and make the surgery more comfortable.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT00338065Enrolling by invitation
Study of eye pressure control in glaucoma and autonomic problems
This study looks at how the body’s automatic nerve system affects steady eye pressure (“ocular homeostasis”). If you have normal-pressure glaucoma or open-angle glaucoma and autonomic dysfunction, you may be able to help researchers understand what influences eye pressure and eye health.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 10–90 - NCT07747428Recruiting
Eye imaging study for diabetic retinopathy
This study uses a special eye imaging test called OCT angiography to look at tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye. It aims to understand changes caused by diabetic retinopathy, which could help improve how we monitor and treat this condition.
SohagAges 18–80 - NCT07746804Recruiting
School program to prevent nearsightedness in children
This study tests a school-based program to help prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are not yet nearsighted but have a higher risk of developing it. It uses a simple, non-invasive method called auricular acupressure, which involves placing small seeds on the ear, to see if it can keep eyes healthy and reduce the chance of needing glasses.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 6–11 - NCT07746752Recruiting
School program to prevent nearsightedness in kids with good eye reserve
This study tests whether a school-based program can help prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children who currently have good distance vision and enough 'eye reserve' (hyperopic reserve) to potentially avoid becoming nearsighted. It focuses on early elementary students to see if simple activities can keep their eyes healthy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 6–11 - NCT07746778Recruiting
School program to slow nearsightedness in children
This study tests whether a school-based program can help slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are either already nearsighted or at risk of becoming nearsighted. It may help reduce the need for stronger glasses in the future.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 6–11 - 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.

Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07230834RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an injection for advanced dry AMD with geographic atrophy
This trial tests whether a monthly injection of pozelimab into the eye can slow the growth of geographic atrophy (a late form of dry age-related macular degeneration). It may help people who have significant vision loss from this condition.
Lakewood, ColoradoAges 50 years+ - NCT05296447Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Long-term safety study for diabetic retinopathy gene therapy
This study follows people who already received an injection of RGX-314 (an experimental gene therapy) in a previous clinical trial for diabetic retinopathy, with or without swelling in the macula. It checks the long-term safety and how the treatment works over time.
