Eye exam study measuring macular pigment in specific eye disease
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study measures a pigment in the eye and also looks at other body tissues in people who have a specific inherited eye condition called adult vitelliform dystrophy. It may help researchers better understand the disease and how it can be confused with early age-related macular degeneration.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 7 or older
- Be coming to the Moran Eye Center for a routine dilated eye exam
- Have adult vitelliform dystrophy (a specific inherited eye condition)
- You should not be under age 7

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study focuses on people age 50+ with early “wasting away” changes in the macula (central retina) called atrophic lesions. It aims to better understand how these early changes progress and how they affect vision testing, which may help improve future treatments.
This study tests whether a supplement containing lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin can increase the amount of these nutrients in your skin. You will take the supplement and a placebo at different times to see if there is a difference.
This study looks at how age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the light-sensitive part of the eye (retina) and the brain. By joining, you help researchers learn more about the condition, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
This study collects samples like blood and a small skin biopsy (and sometimes urine, hair, or saliva) to better understand causes of eye diseases. The goal is to study eye conditions and may help researchers build better tests or treatments.
This study uses a special vision test called microperimetry to track how well the macula (the center of the retina) works in people with certain eye conditions like geographic atrophy or diabetic eye disease. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison. The goal is to understand how these conditions affect retinal function over time.
This study looks at how different eye tests (optical coherence tomography and multifocal electroretinography) relate to your visual acuity in macular dystrophy. The goal is to better understand the condition and improve how we monitor it.
