Lincang, YunnanAges 3–18 - 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 - NCT07549711Enrolling by invitation
Understanding Long Anterior Zonule Eye Condition and Genes
This research study examines a rare eye condition called long anterior zonule (LAZ) that affects the structures supporting the lens. Researchers will compare people with this condition to those without it, and study families where LAZ runs in the family, to understand how genes and physical eye changes relate to this condition.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07544290Enrolling by invitation
Autoimmune Hyperthyroidism Study in Young Children
This study looks at children with autoimmune hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid caused by the immune system attacking the thyroid gland). Researchers want to understand this condition better in children before puberty to help improve care.
Milan, ItalyAges 2–18 - NCT07547930RecruitingPhase 2
Tofacitinib for Steroid-Resistant Thyroid Eye Disease
This study tests whether tofacitinib, a new type of immune-modulating medication, can help people with moderate-to-severe thyroid eye disease (Graves' orbitopathy) whose eyes haven't improved with standard steroid treatments. The goal is to reduce eye swelling, bulging, and inflammation that affects daily life.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07547072Recruiting
Special Glasses to Slow Childhood Nearsightedness
This study tests whether specially designed glasses with multiple focus zones can slow down myopia (nearsightedness) progression in children. If your child has myopia that is worsening, these glasses may help protect their vision.
Kowloon, Hong KongAges 6–13 - NCT06708156RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose atropine drops to slow childhood nearsightedness
This trial tests two low-dose atropine eye drops (0.01% and 0.02%) to see if they can safely slow down the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. Your child would receive either one of these drops or a placebo (an inactive drop) once daily for up to 2 years.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 6–12 - NCT07537166Enrolling by invitation
Atropine Drops and Ear Acupressure for Childhood Myopia
This trial tests whether very low-dose atropine eye drops combined with acupressure on the ear can slow down myopia (nearsightedness) progression in children. Researchers will also check how the treatment affects the inner eye tissue.
Taichung, North StrictAges 6–12 - NCT07539012Recruiting
Corneal Membrane Polishing for Fuchs Eye Disease
This trial tests a surgical technique called Descemet membrane polishing during corneal transplant surgery for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, a condition that clouds the cornea (the clear front part of your eye). The study aims to see if this polishing step improves healing and vision after surgery.
Saint-Etienne, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07539675Recruiting
Eye protein changes in angle-closure glaucoma
This study examines how proteins in the eye lens support structures change in patients with angle-closure glaucoma. Researchers will compare these proteins in people with glaucoma who have loose or normal support structures during surgery, and in people without glaucoma having cataract surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 50 years+ - NCT07534436Recruiting
Eye Surgery Outcomes and Mental Health in Congenital Ptosis
This study follows patients before and after surgery for congenital ptosis—a condition where the eyelid droops from birth. Researchers will measure how surgery affects vision and emotional well-being.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 3–60 - NCT07539831Recruiting
Menstrual cycle effects during minimally invasive gynecology surgery
This study examines how the menstrual cycle may affect pressure in the optic nerve (the nerve connected to your eye) during laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. Researchers want to understand if the timing of surgery within your cycle matters for eye and brain safety.
KonyaAges 18–45 - NCT06731530Recruiting
Eye structure and strength in pseudoexfoliation
This study looks at how the clear front part of the eye, called the cornea, changes in people with a condition called pseudoexfoliation. It may help doctors understand how this condition affects eye strength and vision after cataract surgery.
ThessalonikiAges 60–80 - NCT04848870Recruiting
Check dental and gum health in Sjögren’s disease
This study looks at dental and gum (periodontal) health in adults with Sjögren’s syndrome. It may help researchers understand how Sjögren’s affects the mouth and how patients can be supported better.
Ivry-sur-Seine, Île-de-France RegionAges 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+ - NCT07533149Recruiting
Special Glasses to Help Unequal Nearsightedness in Children
This study tests whether specially designed glasses can help children whose two eyes have very different levels of nearsightedness. The glasses aim to slow down how quickly the eyes become more nearsighted over one year.
SingaporeAges 6–13 - NCT07531927Recruiting
Electrical Stimulation for Geographic Atrophy Vision Loss
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to the eye can help slow vision loss from geographic atrophy, a common cause of blindness in older adults. The treatment uses a special device to stimulate the retina (the light-sensing tissue in the back of your eye).
HamburgAges 60 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 - NCT07529041Enrolling by invitation
Sound cues to help eyes stay still during eye exams
This study tests whether audio feedback (beeping sounds) can help people keep their eyes steady during eye imaging tests. If your eyes move around during exams, this technology might help you stay focused and get better-quality images for diagnosis.
GöttingenAges 18 years+ - NCT07526493RecruitingPhase 1
QH103 Cell Therapy for Resistant Autoimmune Nerve and Brain Diseases
This Phase 1 trial tests whether QH103 cell injections can help patients with serious autoimmune diseases affecting nerves and the brain (like MS, NMOSD, myasthenia gravis, and others) that haven't responded well to standard treatments. The goal is to evaluate safety and whether the treatment helps reduce symptoms.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07531199Recruiting
Suture technique to reduce pressure drop after glaucoma surgery
This trial tests a new suture method during glaucoma surgery with the Preserflo device to reduce the risk of low eye pressure after the operation. It may help people with certain types of glaucoma who need surgery because their eye pressure is not controlled by medications.
AvranchesAges 18 years+ - NCT07526350RecruitingEarly Phase 1
MTS109 for Hard-to-Treat Autoimmune Diseases
This early-stage trial tests a new treatment called MTS109 for autoimmune diseases (like lupus, muscle inflammation, scleroderma, vasculitis, or Sjögren's syndrome) that haven't responded well to standard medications. The goal is to see if MTS109 can help control disease that keeps flaring or getting worse despite current treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06753773Recruiting
Red light therapy for short-term eye changes
This study tests if red light therapy can cause short-term changes in the back of the eye (the choroid and retina) in people with mild to moderate nearsightedness (myopia). It may help researchers understand if this therapy could be used to slow down or improve nearsightedness.
