Early Vitrectomy vs Laser for Early Diabetic Eye Disease
This trial compares two treatments for early diabetic retinopathy—a condition where high blood sugar damages blood vessels in the eye. Researchers want to see if removing fluid from inside the eye (vitrectomy) works better than laser treatment to prevent vision loss.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06720376Recruiting
Uveitis and arthritis study for Turkish patients
This study follows people with uveitis (eye inflammation) to learn more about how it relates to spondyloarthritis (arthritis of the spine). You may be able to join if you have uveitis, but not if you already had spondyloarthritis before your uveitis started or if your uveitis is caused by an infection.
Istanbul, MaltepeAges 18–75 - NCT03160131Recruiting
Rehab program to improve vision after brain injury
This study looks at rehabilitation to improve vision after a brain injury. It may help people with significant vision problems regain everyday visual function.
Copenhagen, HellerupAges 14 years+ - NCT07580040Recruiting
How Smoking Affects the Eyes in the Short Term
This study measures how cigarette smoking immediately affects your eyes' health and structure. Researchers compare current smokers to people who have never smoked to understand if smoking causes quick changes to the eye's surface and shape.
IstanbulAges 18–60 - NCT07582042Recruiting
Vision testing in geographic atrophy treated with pegcetacoplan
This study tests a specialized vision-testing method in people with geographic atrophy (a type of dry age-related macular degeneration) who are already receiving pegcetacoplan injections. The goal is to better understand how this treatment affects vision in different parts of the eye.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 65–90 - NCT07579130Recruiting
Measuring tear film thickness in dry eye disease
This study compares different ways of measuring the tear film layer (the oily coating on your eye) in people with dry eye disease. Understanding these measurements better may help doctors diagnose and treat dry eye more effectively.
Bloomington, IndianaAges 18–100 - NCT07580014Recruiting
Eye Imaging Study for Glaucoma and Narrow Angles
This study uses advanced eye imaging (OCT and OCTA) to understand how the blood vessels and tissue layers in the back of the eye differ between people with glaucoma, people at risk for angle-closure glaucoma, and people with healthy eyes. The findings may help doctors better diagnose and understand these eye conditions.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–90 - NCT06722937Recruiting
Collagen factors in fast-progressing keratoconus in kids
This study looks at why keratoconus gets worse quickly in children. You may help doctors understand how collagen affects the condition.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 10–50 - NCT03988764Recruiting
Checking monogenic diabetes wrongly labeled as type 1
This trial looks at people who were diagnosed with diabetes before age 25 as either type 1 or “not sure which type.” It may help confirm whether the cause is genetic (monogenic) rather than type 1, which can change treatment choices.
Montreal, QuebecAges 1 day–25 years - NCT06721234Recruiting
Vein thickness and inflammation in Behcet disease
This study looks at how the thickness of the femoral vein wall and certain markers of inflammation relate to Behcet disease. It may help doctors better understand and monitor the condition.
SohagAges 19–80 - NCT07568730RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Lacripep eye drops for neurotrophic keratitis
This trial tests whether a new eye drop called Lacripep can help treat neurotrophic keratitis, a rare eye condition where the cornea loses sensation and can become damaged. The study compares Lacripep to a placebo (inactive) drop to see if it improves corneal healing and vision.
Tampa, FloridaAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT07570212Recruiting
Personalized Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's and Similar Disorders
This study tests whether customized transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity) can help improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity patterns.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 30–80 - NCT07571538Recruiting
A new eye test to reduce ghosting or double vision
This study tests a new way to reduce 'ghosting'—double or shadow images—that some people see, especially with astigmatism or at night. It involves using a special visual test to measure and possibly correct this effect.
Bloomington, IndianaAges 8 years+ - NCT07571330Recruiting
Upper Tear Drain Plug for Dry Eye After Lower Plug
This trial tests whether adding a plug to your upper tear drain (in addition to an existing lower plug) helps severe dry eye. It may improve comfort by reducing tear loss.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 18 years+ - NCT06201455Recruiting
Glaucoma surgery study for people with controlled eye pressure and cataracts
This study tests a new surgery that combines cataract removal with a glaucoma procedure to lower eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It's for people whose eye pressure is controlled with 1 to 4 medications but who also have significant cataracts.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–85 - NCT06034379Recruiting
Special glasses vs. eye drops for nearsighted kids
This study compares two ways to slow down worsening nearsightedness in children: special electronic glasses versus low-dose atropine eye drops. It may help your child keep their eyesight from getting much worse over time.
HsinchuAges 6–13 - NCT06119243Recruiting
Kids' vision study: outdoor time and nearsightedness
This study tests if spending more time outdoors can help slow the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It involves using special contact lenses and tracking vision changes over one year.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 4–14 - NCT06712849Recruiting
Brain stimulation for adult lazy eye
This trial tests a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) to see if it can improve vision in adults with lazy eye. It is a noninvasive approach that does not involve surgery or drugs.
Downers Grove, IllinoisAges 18–55 - NCT07566234Recruiting
Contact Lenses and Myopia Study for Children
This study tests whether special contact lenses can help slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children ages 8–10. Researchers want to see if wearing these lenses daily can help your child's eyes develop more normally and reduce the need for stronger glasses over time.
ShanghaiAges 8–10 - NCT07565103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing SUM-191 eye drops for bacterial pink eye
This trial tests a new eye medication called SUM-191 for treating bacterial conjunctivitis (a bacterial infection that causes pink eye). The study has three parts: first testing safety in healthy people, then in people with the infection itself.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05017142Recruiting
Pediatric brain inflammation registry for Swiss patients
This study is a registry that collects health information from children and teens in Switzerland diagnosed with certain inflammatory brain and spinal cord conditions. It helps researchers understand these illnesses better over time and may guide future treatments.
Aarau, Canton of AargauAges Up to 36 years - NCT07567833RecruitingPhase 4
Tracking Eye Function After Diabetes Swelling Treatment
This study follows patients with diabetic eye swelling (a complication of diabetes affecting the macula, the part of your eye needed for detailed vision) who are receiving anti-VEGF injections—a standard treatment that reduces abnormal blood vessel growth. Researchers will measure how well your retina (the light-sensitive tissue in your eye) recovers and functions over time.
