Vision test study for macular eye disorders
This study uses a special vision test called microperimetry to track how well the macula (the center of the retina) works in people with certain eye conditions like geographic atrophy or diabetic eye disease. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison. The goal is to understand how these conditions affect retinal function over time.
Nottingham, NottsAges 21 years+ - NCT06322433Recruiting
Follow-up study for severe nearsightedness
This study follows people with high myopia over time to monitor their eye health. It aims to better understand how very nearsighted eyes change.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06953349Recruiting
Surgery systems with cataract and glaucoma treatment
This trial looks at how well certain surgical systems work when combined with cataract surgery and a glaucoma procedure. It may help people with glaucoma who need fewer medications after surgery.

Comparing two multifocal lens implants for cataract surgery
This trial compares two types of multifocal lens implants (Clareon PanOptix vs. AcrySof PanOptix) to see which provides better contrast sensitivity. If you need cataract surgery and qualify for a multifocal lens that corrects both near and distance vision, this study may help you learn which option could work best for you.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07160036Recruiting
Red-light therapy and eye cell imaging study
This study tests how well a special imaging device (AO-SLO) can measure cells in the back of the eye, and how these cells change in people who use repeated low-level red-light therapy for myopia (nearsightedness). It may help researchers understand if this therapy is safe and effective for controlling myopia.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 6–55 - NCT07163676Recruiting
Can exercise help glaucoma in older adults?
This study tests if a gentle exercise called Baduanjin can help lower eye pressure in older adults with glaucoma or high eye pressure. It may offer a natural way to manage their condition.
Giza, DokkiAges 65–75 - NCT07158775RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BS01 gene therapy for dry age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a new gene therapy, BS01, given as an eye injection. It is for people with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that has caused geographic atrophy—damage to the central part of the retina. The study aims to see if the treatment is safe and can help slow vision loss.
Edison, New JerseyAges 50–85 - NCT07161544RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for Stargardt disease
This trial tests a new gene therapy, AAVB-039, for people with Stargardt disease caused by a specific gene mutation. The treatment is given during eye surgery and aims to slow or stop vision loss.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 8–55 - NCT07164378Recruiting
Study of an implant for vision loss from advanced AMD
This trial tests a small telescope implant for people with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in both eyes. It aims to improve central vision in the eye where the implant is placed.
MarseilleAges 55 years+ - NCT07160179RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an eye injection for geographic atrophy
This study tests a new medicine (ABBV-6628) given as an injection into the eye to see how well it works and how it moves through the body for people with geographic atrophy (an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration). It may help slow vision loss from this condition.
Carmel, IndianaAges 50 years+ - NCT07155551Recruiting
Measuring eye changes after wearing special contact lenses for 1 hour
This test checks if a new type of soft contact lens changes the thickness of a layer in your eye (called the choroid) after wearing it for just 1 hour. It may help understand how lenses could slow down nearsightedness.
Waterloo, OntarioAges 18–25 - NCT06591793RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for Usher syndrome type 1B vision loss
This trial tests an experimental gene therapy given as an injection under the retina. It aims to slow or stop vision loss in people with Usher syndrome type 1B, a rare genetic condition that causes both hearing and vision problems.
NaplesAges 18–50 - NCT06955611Recruiting
Is home monitoring safe for early diabetic eye problems?
This trial tests whether monitoring certain diabetic eye changes in the community is as safe as hospital checks. It's for people with early signs of diabetic eye disease that haven't yet reached a more advanced stage.
HaverfordwestAges 18 years+ - NCT07146256Recruiting
OPMD Natural History Registry Study
This study is building a national registry (a database) for people with Oculo-Pharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy (OPMD) in Israel. Joining will help researchers understand how OPMD progresses over time and may lead to better care.
Ramat GanAges 18 years+ - NCT07149740Recruiting
A study to collect images of eyes for new camera technology
This trial uses a special camera (OCT) to capture detailed images of the eye. It aims to improve eye disease detection. You may join if you have retinal disease, glaucoma, corneal disease, or healthy eyes.
Anaheim, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT07151001Recruiting
AI test for early diabetic eye disease (retinopathy)
This trial uses an AI system to test if it can find early signs of diabetic eye disease (diabetic retinopathy) in people with diabetes. If you have diabetes but no known eye problems, the AI might help catch issues early.
Richmond Hill, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT07147647Recruiting
Laser treatment for lowering eye pressure in Black patients with glaucoma
This trial tests a laser procedure called DSLT to reduce eye pressure in Black patients with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It aims to see if this treatment works well as a first step before using eye drops.
Elkridge, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07155057Recruiting
Dry eye gel for cataract surgery patients
This study tests a gel placed into the tear drain to treat dry eye in people who are also getting cataract surgery. You may be able to join if you have dry eye and are having cataract surgery.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges 22 years+ - NCT07149142Recruiting
AI eye screening for children with type 1 diabetes
This study tests if an artificial intelligence (AI) system can effectively screen for eye problems related to diabetes (retinopathy) in children. The goal is to find a faster, easier way to protect your child's vision.
