Study of two implantable astigmatism-correcting lenses
This study tests two types of implantable lenses that correct astigmatism (blurry vision from an irregularly shaped cornea). You keep your own natural lens, and the new lens is placed in front of it—no laser or lens removal needed. The goal is to see which lens works better and is safer.
Münster, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 21 years+ - NCT06841471Recruiting
Role of Corneal Nerves in Dry Eye Disease
This study looks at how the nerves in the front of the eye (corneal nerves) relate to dry eye disease. It compares people with dry eye to those without to understand differences.

Study on cannabis-like compounds for inflammatory arthritis
This trial tests whether plant-based compounds similar to cannabis (called phytocannabinoids) can help calm inflammation and improve immune function in people with certain types of arthritis or autoimmune diseases like lupus or Sjögren's disease. It aims to offer a new way to treat these conditions without the 'high' of marijuana.
OrléansAges 18 years+ - NCT06843499Recruiting
AI eye screening for AMD and diabetic retinopathy
This trial tests an AI program called VeriSee that helps doctors check for eye problems like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). It compares the AI's accuracy and costs to standard care in regular eye clinics.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT06844123Recruiting
