Test retinal responses to light in healthy eyes or eye disease
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This is a small pilot study that measures how parts of the retina change before and after light stimulation. It may help researchers understand eye function in people with normal vision or specific eye conditions like glaucoma or dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You can sign consent and follow study instructions
- Your vision prescription difference is less than 3 diopters (a measure of glasses/contacts power)
- You have one of the study eye groups: normal eye exam, primary open-angle glaucoma with MD 10 dB or less, or dry AMD that is stage II or III
- You must not have anything that would prevent reliable eye measurements or interfere with the study
- No photosensitizing (light-sensitizing) medicines in the last 3 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a light-based treatment (photobiomodulation) for dry AMD, using the Valeda Light Delivery System. It may help improve vision and eye health over time.
This study tests new ways to diagnose glaucoma (and sometimes related eye conditions) using eye exams and measurements. It may help improve how doctors detect glaucoma earlier and more accurately.
This research study tests a new camera technology that takes detailed pictures of the back of your eye (retina) to better understand eye diseases. Researchers want to compare images from people with eye conditions like diabetes-related eye disease, glaucoma, or age-related macular degeneration with healthy volunteers to see how the new imaging works.
This study tests a quick, noninvasive eye test that measures how well you see in the dark, which can be an early sign of dry AMD. Researchers want to see if the test relates to everyday tasks like reading or driving at night.
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 uses a light-based test (the “photomotor reflex”) to see how non-visual effects of light may affect sleep-wake timing, brain function, mental health, and eyesight. You may be assigned to a group based on your condition, or you may be in the healthy control group.
