A Study of Inherited Retinal Diseases
This study is looking at how inherited retinal diseases affect color vision over time. It may help researchers understand these conditions better and is a good fit for people with a known diagnosis who can describe what they see.

Study of laser-assisted cataract surgery outcomes
This study looks at how well femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery works and what factors affect its results. It may be a good option if you have age-related cataracts and regular astigmatism.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–80 - NCT07085676RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for autoimmune diseases that resist treatment
This study tests a new cell therapy called CAR-T (using your own immune cells) for people with severe autoimmune diseases like lupus, scleroderma, or myositis that have not improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can safely reduce disease activity.
JerusalemAges 18–80 - NCT07080229RecruitingPhase 3
Nasal spray for blood pressure during cataract surgery in older adults
This trial tests whether a nasal spray of dexmedetomidine can help control blood pressure in older adults with high blood pressure who are having cataract surgery. It may keep your blood pressure more stable during the procedure.
Ismailia, Ismailia GovernorateAges 65 years+ - NCT07076277Enrolling by invitation
Comparing vision after different cataract lens implants
This study compares two types of advanced artificial lens implants used during cataract surgery. It looks at how well people see after getting one type of lens in one eye and the other type in the other eye, compared to getting the same type in both eyes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07078799Recruiting
Comparing two types of LASIK for nearsightedness and astigmatism
This study compares two types of LASIK surgery to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. It may help if you have healthy eyes, are 22 or older, and have a stable prescription within a certain range.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 22–59 - NCT07081139Recruiting
Visual screening study for children with special needs
This study uses a video-based eye-tracking system to test how well children with special needs and typical preschoolers can see. It aims to find a friendly way to screen vision without asking children to read letters.
TaipeiAges birth–70 years - NCT07077304Recruiting
Cardiac imaging study for inflammatory heart diseases
This study uses heart scans (MRI or nuclear imaging) to better understand inflammatory heart conditions. If you have a suspected inflammatory heart disease and are already scheduled for one of these scans, you may be able to join.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06330350Recruiting
Talking about family planning for genetic skin conditions
This study interviews people with inherited skin conditions (genodermatoses) who want to have children, and the doctors who care for them. The goal is to learn how to better support family planning decisions, like counseling about genetics and pregnancy risks.
Maastricht, LimburgAges Any age - NCT06474442RecruitingPhase 2
BD111 gene therapy for herpes simplex virus eye infection
This trial tests a new gene therapy called BD111 for people with a herpes simplex virus infection in the cornea (the clear front part of the eye). It aims to see if the treatment is safe and can help clear the virus, possibly improving vision.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT05004493Recruiting
Plasma exchange patient registry and sample collection
This study collects information and blood or other samples from people who are getting plasma exchange therapy. The goal is to build a registry (a organized database) that researchers can use to better understand and improve care.
Iowa City, IowaAges 12–99 - NCT05476523Recruiting
Eye-tracking tests for adults to study vision and brain signals
This trial uses an eye-tracking camera or software to measure how your eyes move while you do simple tasks. It’s meant to test whether the eye-tracking system can reliably collect useful movement data in people like you.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 18–90 - NCT06687356Recruiting
Using OCT during lens surgery for better results
This study uses a special imaging technique called optical coherence tomography (OCT) during lens surgery to help doctors see inside your eye more clearly. It may be a good option if you need surgery for a cataract or a lens that is out of place.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06982417Recruiting
RP2 Genetic Condition Registry
This registry study collects information from people who have a genetic change in the RP2 gene (a cause of inherited eye disease) and their families. It helps researchers learn more about the condition and how it affects daily life.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges Any age - NCT06983652Recruiting
Validating a new scan for corneal scars and swelling
This study tests a new scanning technology (terahertz) to see if it can detect and measure corneal scars and swelling (edema). If you have one of these conditions, you may help validate a faster, non-invasive way to monitor your eye health.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT05366933RecruitingPhase 1
B-Complex vitamins to protect astronauts during long space missions
This early study tests whether a B-vitamin supplement (called B-Complex) can act as a helpful countermeasure during long stays on the International Space Station. It is only for astronauts assigned to specific 6–12 month missions.
Houston, TexasAges 20–100 - NCT07065747Recruiting
