Adjustable lens with corneal cuts for astigmatism during cataract surgery
This study tests whether combining tiny corneal cuts with a special adjustable lens can better correct astigmatism (an irregularly shaped cornea) during lens replacement surgery. It may help people who need cataract surgery and have astigmatism achieve sharper vision without glasses.

Brain stimulation for vision loss from glaucoma
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It uses a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called rtACS, which may help damaged optic nerves work better.
Taipei, HawaiiAges 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.

Preventing retinal detachment in Stickler syndrome with laser
This study tests whether a preventative laser treatment can lower the risk of retinal detachment in people with Stickler syndrome. It's for those who have not yet had a retinal detachment and are healthy enough for the procedure.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT07147192Recruiting
Study of a new lens that moves with your eye
This trial tests a new type of artificial lens (IOL) that aims to adjust focus like a natural lens, potentially reducing the need for glasses after cataract surgery. You may join if you have cataracts in both eyes scheduled for removal.
San JoséAges 22 years+ - NCT07147660Recruiting
Vision training to help you drive after a stroke
This study tests a vision training program to help people who lost part of their eyesight after a stroke. The goal is to see if it can improve your ability to drive safely.
KongsbergAges 20–85 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07151755Recruiting
Microneedle injection for retinal artery blockage
This trial tests a tiny needle injection into the artery to dissolve a blockage in the eye's main blood supply. It may help restore vision if the blockage happened within the past week.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07152132Recruiting
Comparing two glaucoma surgeries for people who had cataract surgery
This trial studies a new tube-shunt surgery (SCTSC) against the standard trabeculectomy for people with open-angle glaucoma that is not controlled by eye drops. It is only for people who have already had cataract surgery.
MinyaAges 40 years+ - NCT07152392RecruitingPhase 4
Testing IBI311 for inactive thyroid eye disease symptoms
This trial tests a medication called IBI311 for people with inactive thyroid eye disease that still causes bothersome symptoms like double vision or trouble closing the eyes. The goal is to see if it helps improve these problems safely.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07152366RecruitingPhase 4
Hormone and tetuzumab for active thyroid eye disease
This trial tests a new sequence of hormone therapy followed by a targeted drug (tetuzumab) for people with moderate to severe thyroid eye disease that is still active after steroid treatment didn't help enough.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07152340RecruitingPhase 4
Sequential hormone and IBI311 therapy for active TAO
This trial tests a two-step treatment for active, moderate-to-severe thyroid eye disease (TAO). You will first receive hormone therapy, followed by a drug called IBI311. The goal is to see if this sequence works better for people who have not had steroid treatment before.
Changhua, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07153276RecruitingPhase 4
Laser vs estrogen cream for vaginal dryness in Sjögren's
This trial compares two treatments for vaginal dryness in women with Sjögren's disease: a CO2 laser procedure versus a topical estrogen cream called promestriene. The goal is to see which option works better to relieve dryness and discomfort.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 30–65 - 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+ - 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 - NCT07158177Recruiting
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+ - 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 - NCT07160036Recruiting

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.
