Comparing eye injections for diabetic macular edema
This study compares two different eye injection treatments for diabetic macular edema (DME)—a condition where fluid builds up in the center of the retina, blurring vision. Researchers want to see how certain measures in the blood and in eye scans relate to how well each treatment works.

AlloNK and rituximab for relapsing rheumatologic diseases
This trial tests a new natural killer (NK) cell therapy called AlloNK given with rituximab for people with certain autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's disease, inflammatory myopathies, or systemic sclerosis) that have not responded well to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can better control the disease.
Tuscaloosa, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06991270Recruiting
Glaucoma surgery study for people with cataracts
This trial tests a surgical system for people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option if you are having cataract surgery or have already had it, and your eye pressure is not well controlled with medications.
Panama CityAges 45 years+ - NCT06991712RecruitingPhase 2
NAD supplements for nerve health in glaucoma
This trial tests whether NAD precursor supplements can improve nerve health and vision in people with glaucoma. If you have glaucoma with mild to moderate vision loss, this study may help understand if these supplements could protect your optic nerve.

Comparing SMILE vs SMILE Xtra for nearsightedness
This study compares two types of laser eye surgery (SMILE and SMILE Xtra) to see which works better for treating nearsightedness. The goal is to help you see clearly without glasses or contacts.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–50 - NCT06992622Recruiting
Youth spine and vision health study
This study is following a group of young people with scoliosis to better understand how their spine and vision change over time. It may help you learn more about your condition and contribute to future care.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 6–17 - NCT06995131Recruiting
Eye fluid study in diabetes and cataract patients
This study looks at two proteins (DEL-1 and IL-17) in the fluid inside the eye of people with diabetes who are having cataract surgery. It aims to understand how these proteins might be linked to eye health in diabetes.
Uşak, UşakAges 50–80 - NCT06995313Recruiting
Biofeedback training for hemianopia
This trial tests a biofeedback training program for people with hemianopia (vision loss on one side) that started more than 6 months ago. The training uses visual and sound cues to help you make better use of your remaining vision.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–90 - NCT06995911Recruiting
Virtual reading device trial for pre-myopic children
This study tests if a special virtual reading device can slow or prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are starting to show signs of it. It's for kids ages 6 to 12 with mild farsightedness or beginning nearsightedness and at least one parent who is nearsighted.
ShanghaiAges 6–12 - NCT06996080RecruitingPhase 3
Study of KSI-101 for swelling caused by eye inflammation
This trial tests a new medicine called KSI-101 given as an injection into the eye to treat swelling in the center of the retina caused by inflammation. It may help people whose vision has gotten worse due to this type of swelling.
