Nicotinamide treatment for glaucoma progression
This trial studies whether nicotinamide (a form of vitamin B3/niacin) can slow or affect glaucoma progression. You may be eligible if you have newly diagnosed, untreated glaucoma or if you have treated glaucoma with measurable visual field changes.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT05981950Recruiting

This study tests how well an AI system can diagnose retinal diseases from eye photos. It might help if you need a quick and accurate diagnosis using standard eye imaging.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1–100 - NCT03400137Recruiting
Eye pressure and vision test study in healthy and glaucoma-suspect people
This study measures how eye pressure and standard eye-function tests perform in people with normal eyes, higher eye pressure, or early signs of glaucoma. It may help researchers understand who is at risk and how best to monitor eye health before or during glaucoma.
New York, New YorkAges 18–90 - NCT04463316Recruiting
Clinic study for people with rare genetic conditions
This study is for people who have a rare syndrome or rare congenital condition and are seen at a rare-disease clinic. It aims to better understand these conditions and how care works in a team setting, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06059521Recruiting
Comparing a mobile vision test to standard eye exams
This trial tests a new way to measure your eyeglass prescription using a mobile device, compared with a traditional method called retinoscopy. It may help you get a quick and accurate vision check without needing special equipment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 10–46 - NCT06057051Recruiting
Stent implant for mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma
This trial studies a tiny implant called iStent Infinite that helps drain fluid from the eye to lower pressure in people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It may offer a new way to manage the condition.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 35 years+ - NCT06074731Recruiting
Eye imaging study using a new scanner
This trial uses a special eye scanner to look at eye diseases. It might help doctors see eye problems more clearly.
Linz, Upper AustriaAges 5–110 - NCT06053554Recruiting
Comparing two cataract surgery methods for pseudoexfoliation
This study compares two different surgical methods for placing a new artificial lens (IOL) during cataract surgery in people with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. It aims to find which method works best for these patients.
ViennaAges 60–100 - NCT05573802RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Belantamab and other medicines for new multiple myeloma
This early-phase study tests how safe and effective belantamab mafodotin is when combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, plus a medicine called nirogacestat, in people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who cannot have stem cell transplant. It may help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes, while doctors track side effects.
AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT06088225Recruiting
Myopia prevention with screen distance study
This trial tests if a distance-image screen can help prevent myopia (nearsightedness) from getting worse. It is for children ages 6 to 12 who have had recent changes in their vision.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 6–12 - NCT06102109Recruiting
Two stitch-free lens fixation methods compared
This study compares two safe, stitch-free surgical methods (Yamane vs. 4-flanged technique) for placing an artificial lens when natural lens support is absent. The goal is to find which approach gives better long-term results.
ViennaAges 18–100 - NCT05112211Recruiting
Imaging study of doxycycline in thyroid eye disease
This study looks at how doxycycline (an antibiotic) affects thyroid eye disease using special imaging pictures. It may help doctors better understand disease activity and how well treatments work.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06077253Recruiting
Preventing angle closure glaucoma in Danish patients
This trial tests a laser treatment to prevent a type of glaucoma called angle closure. It is for people who have a narrow drainage angle in the eye but do not yet have glaucoma or other serious eye conditions.
AalborgAges 40–80 - NCT04957329RecruitingPhase 4
Latanoprost eye drops: with or without preservative
This study compares two versions of latanoprost eye drops—one that contains a preservative and one that is preservative-free. It aims to see how each version affects the eye’s “goblet cells,” which help keep the eye surface healthy.
Glostrup Municipality, DanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT05863312Recruiting
Study of outcomes after retinal detachment repair
This study looks at how well surgery works for people with a specific type of detached retina (rhegmatogenous retinal detachment). It may help improve how doctors choose and manage treatment, based on what outcomes happen after repair.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04729543RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TCR cell therapy for melanoma and head and neck cancer
This early-phase study tests a lab-made T-cell treatment that targets a specific tumor marker (MC2) in melanoma and head and neck cancers. It aims to see if the treatment can safely shrink tumors and control cancer after standard options have run out.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06151587RecruitingPhase 3
Eye drop to slow myopia in children
This study tests an eye drop (QLM3004) to see if it can slow down the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It might be a good option if your child is between 6 and 12, has mild to moderate nearsightedness, and hasn't used other myopia treatments before.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 6–12 - NCT05461820RecruitingPhase 4
Testing treatment options for Graves’ disease and its relapse
