Study of myopia control lenses in children
This study tests how well children adapt to special myopia control lenses. It aims to see if these lenses are comfortable and easy to wear for kids with nearsightedness.

Eye cell check after lens implant for nearsightedness
This trial checks how a special lens implant (called a phakic IOL) affects the cells on the inside of your cornea (the clear front part of your eye). It is for people with high nearsightedness who want better vision without glasses or contacts.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18–35 - NCT06848829Recruiting
Tear Test in Women With and Without Menopause
This study compares a simple tear test between women going through menopause and those who aren’t. It helps researchers understand how menopause may affect eye moisture.
Taichung, TaiwanAges 20–65 - NCT07359547Recruiting
Comparing Two Glaucoma Drainage Devices
This trial compares two different tiny drainage devices (a gel stent and a microshunt) for lowering eye pressure in people with certain types of glaucoma that are not well controlled with medications. The goal is to see which device works better and is safer.
Leuven, Vlaams-brabantAges 40 years+ - NCT07354009Recruiting
Stent implant for lowering eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma
This trial tests a small stent to help drain fluid from the eye and lower pressure in people who have both open-angle glaucoma and cataracts. The stent is placed during routine cataract surgery.
HangzhouAges 18–90 - NCT07358832Recruiting
Brain stimulation for vision loss after recent brain injury
This trial tests whether combining brain stimulation with visual exercises can help improve vision loss caused by a recent brain injury. It is designed for people in the early recovery phase (within 3 months of injury) who have visual field deficits, but not other conditions like neglect or eye movement problems.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT05976139Recruiting
Micropulsed laser for swelling in inherited retina conditions
This study tests whether a micropulsed laser can reduce swelling in the macula (central vision area) in people with inherited retinal diseases. It may help improve or stabilize vision-related swelling seen on detailed eye scans.
Rome, RMAges 18–80 - NCT06203106Recruiting
NYSCF Scientific Discovery Biobank
This study collects blood, saliva, or skin samples from people with certain neurological conditions and from healthy volunteers to help researchers better understand and find treatments for these diseases.
New York, New YorkAges 4 weeks+ - NCT00874783Recruiting
Testing nerve-cell growth from donated body cells
This trial uses donated body cells or small hair samples from people with neurological diseases (and healthy donors) to try to grow “nerve-like” cells for research. It may help scientists learn how to better study and treat different neurological conditions.
Jerusalem, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT06733220Recruiting
Balance in strabismus patients having eye muscle surgery
This study looks at how strabismus (misaligned eyes) affects balance before and after surgery. It may help patients understand if their eye condition influences their stability.
Roma, RMAges 16–65 - NCT07350330Recruiting
Muscle transplant vs Y-split for large exotropia
This study compares two surgical methods to treat large-angle outward eye turning (exotropia) in patients over 6 years old. The surgery aims to correct eye alignment, and the trial helps find which technique works best.
CairoAges 6 years+ - NCT07346560Recruiting
Comparing first vs second membrane peeling in retinal detachment
This trial compares two ways of removing a thin layer on the retina during surgery for a detached retina. It may help doctors decide which approach works better for people who have not had this problem before.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07351786Recruiting
Newer diabetes drugs and eye protection study
This trial is looking at whether newer diabetes drugs (like SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors) can help protect the eyes of people with long-standing type 2 diabetes. The study focuses on preventing or slowing diabetic retinopathy, a common eye complication.
AlexandriaAges 25 years+ - NCT06658119Recruiting
Wide-focus lens for cataract surgery: a clinical trial
This study tests a new type of lens implant that gives you a wider range of clear vision after cataract surgery. It uses a special laser to help remove the cataract, and the lens may help you see better at near, far, and in between without glasses.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40–80 - NCT07338097Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two eye injections for diabetic macular edema
This study tests whether one eye injection (aflibercept) works better than another (bevacizumab) for people with diabetic macular edema. Both are already used for this condition, and the goal is to see which provides better vision improvement.
Multan, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–60 - NCT07335146Recruiting
Eye imaging study for children with myopia
This study uses advanced eye imaging to learn more about myopia (nearsightedness) in children. If your child is between certain levels of nearsightedness (but not too high or too low), they may be able to join.
ParisAges 6–12 - NCT07338461Recruiting
High-resolution eye imaging study for healthy and eye disease volunteers
This study uses a special, high-resolution camera to take detailed pictures of the back of the eye. It is testing the camera's ability to see changes in the retina for people who are healthy or have age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or other conditions that affect autofluorescence patterns.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07335211RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new eye drop for glaucoma or high eye pressure
This trial tests a new medicine called HUC3-637 for people with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It aims to see if it safely lowers eye pressure.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07338968Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for early choroidal melanoma study
This study follows people who finished a previous trial for a type of eye cancer called early choroidal melanoma. It checks how patients are doing over time after receiving either the study treatment (bel-sar) or a placebo (sham).
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02026843Recruiting
Testing eye fluid markers in chorioretinal eye diseases
This study looks at substances (“biomarkers”) in the clear fluid inside the eye to better understand several eye conditions that affect vision. Your results may help doctors learn how these diseases work and how treatments might be chosen.
Daegu, KyungsangpookdoAges 20–80 - NCT07343011Recruiting
Conjunctival Surgery for Pterygium Treatment
This trial tests a surgery to move a piece of the conjunctiva (the clear tissue covering the white of the eye) to treat a primary pterygium, which is a growth on the eye's surface that extends onto the cornea. It may help prevent the growth from returning and improve comfort and vision.
Zahedan, Sistan and BalochistanAges 18 years+ - NCT07337317Recruiting
Testing stairway designs for people with vision loss
This study compares different stairway designs to see which are easier and safer for people with vision impairment. It will help identify features that make stairs more accessible.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 65 years+ - NCT07341763Recruiting
Brain stimulation for better mobility in vision loss
This study tests whether a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called tDCS) can help people with vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa, rod-cone dystrophy, or advanced glaucoma move around more easily and safely. Participants will do walking and orientation tasks while receiving the stimulation.
Waterloo, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07340931Recruiting
Myopia-control spectacle lenses study for children
This study tests if special Essilor® spectacle lenses can slow down the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. It aims to see if the lenses are comfortable and well-tolerated by young patients.
