This study tests whether special glasses or low-dose atropine eye drops can slow down worsening nearsightedness in children. It compares four groups: glasses alone, eye drops alone, both together, or a placebo (no active treatment).
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 5–11 - NCT07096622Recruiting
Visual training for kids after lens surgery
This study tests whether special visual and perceptual training exercises can help improve eyesight in children who have had surgery for a naturally dislocated lens (congenital ectopia lentis). It is for kids aged 4–12 whose vision is still below normal after their second eye surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 4–12 - NCT07105358Recruiting

This study tests whether the brain can improve vision after damage caused by stroke, tumor, or injury. It may help people with vision loss from a brain lesion find new ways to see better.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07110493Recruiting
Visual snow and TMS study
This study uses a technique called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of your brain, to explore how people with visual snow syndrome, color blindness, or normal vision perceive light patterns. This may help understand why visual snow happens and how to treat it.
MoscowAges 18–65 - NCT07113210RecruitingPhase 4
Quality of life with Qlosi eye drops for presbyopia
This trial tests whether a new prescription eye drop called Qlosi improves the quality of life for people with presbyopia (age-related trouble seeing up close). You will use the drops regularly and answer questions about your vision and daily activities.
Medina, MinnesotaAges 45–64 - NCT07113262RecruitingPhase 3
Study of IBI311 for people with inactive thyroid eye disease
This trial tests a new medication called IBI311 for people whose thyroid eye disease is no longer active but still causes bulging eyes. It aims to see if the drug can reduce eye bulging safely.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT07117981Recruiting
Study of second-line treatment for thyroid eye disease
This trial looks at how thyroid eye disease (inflammation behind the eyes) changes over time in people who need stronger treatments after steroids haven't worked well enough. It aims to better understand the disease and how different second-line treatments may help.
Paris, parisAges 18 years+ - NCT07118241RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new eye drop for Sjögren's dry eye
This trial tests a new eye drop made from a natural protein (rhPRG4) to see if it safely and effectively relieves dry eye symptoms in people with Sjögren's syndrome. You'll be randomly assigned to receive the study drop or a placebo (inactive) drop for several weeks.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–80 - NCT07118254RecruitingPhase 2
Eye drops for dry eye from graft-versus-host disease
This study tests whether a new eye drop (rhPRG4) can safely reduce dry eye symptoms caused by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). It compares the active drops to an inactive placebo to see if they provide better relief.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–75 - NCT07119580Recruiting
Glaucoma, eye surface health, and tear proteins
This study looks at how glaucoma and its treatments affect the surface of the eye and proteins in tears. It may help find better ways to manage eye health in people with glaucoma.
HsinchuAges 18 years+ - NCT07124572Recruiting
Building a Better Diagnosis System for Thyroid Eye Disease
This study aims to build a better system for diagnosing and treating thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (a thyroid eye condition). It may help improve care for people with this disease, and also involves healthy volunteers as a comparison group.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 7–90 - NCT07124910RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two UV light times for corneal crosslinking
This trial tests two different UV light exposure times (18 minutes vs. 24 minutes) during a corneal crosslinking procedure for people with keratoconus or similar corneal thinning conditions. The goal is to see if the shorter time works as well as the longer one.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 8 years+ - NCT07126470Recruiting
Ring for better lens placement in RP cataract surgery
This trial tests whether using a capsular tension ring (a small support ring) during cataract surgery helps keep the artificial lens more stable in people with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and cataracts. It may reduce lens shifting after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07127757Recruiting
New laser vision correction study for nearsightedness
This study tests a newer version of LASIK eye surgery to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. The researchers want to see if this laser approach is safe and effective for people who are eligible.
Greensboro, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07129642RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Donor CAR-T cells for hard-to-treat Graves' disease
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy called CAR-T cells made from a donor. The cells target B cells that may drive Graves' disease. It's for people whose Graves' disease has not gotten better with usual treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07133438RecruitingPhase 4
Vitamin B12 with eye injections for blocked retinal vein
This trial tests if adding mecobalamin (a form of vitamin B12) to standard anti-VEGF eye injections helps people with vision loss caused by a blocked vein in the retina. You must have swelling in the back of the eye and have had no prior treatments for this condition.
ChongqingAges 18–80 - NCT07134777Recruiting
