Using a scan to guide eye surgery in real time
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special eye scan (OCT) can help guide eye surgery during the operation. It may improve how surgeons see and target the exact eye structures they need to treat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can be either a healthy participant or someone having eye surgery
- If you’re a surgeon participant, you must be an adult (18 or older)
- If you’re having vitreoretinal surgery, you must not be very new to life (not under 4 weeks old)
- Your eyes must be healthy enough for the scan to work clearly during the procedure
- If you’re doing cornea or cataract-related surgery, the participant must be an adult (18 or older)

This study aims to improve how we take pictures of the back of the eye (called OCT imaging) in both healthy adults and children. It will help doctors get better images to diagnose and manage eye conditions.
This trial studies whether a new, very high-resolution and high-speed eye scan can be used for people with eye problems or for healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better “see” eye structures more clearly to guide care.
This study uses a special type of eye scan (OCTA) to look at blood vessels in the back of the eye. It's for people with various eye conditions, and aims to help doctors see and understand these diseases better.
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.
This trial tests a new, more detailed eye imaging technique (PS-OCT) that takes pictures inside the eye. You might be able to help researchers improve how well the scan works, especially for people with otherwise healthy eyes (with some limits).
This trial is testing a new software tool that helps doctors see and assess different parts of the retina in eye scans. It aims to see how well the tool works in people with and without certain retina conditions.
