New imaging test for early-onset retinal disease
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of eye imaging to better detect and diagnose early-onset retinal dystrophies in children up to 8 years old. It may help find these conditions sooner and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is under 9 years old (age 0 to 8)
- Your child has a clear cornea and lens (no cloudiness blocking the view inside the eye)
- Your child's glasses prescription is 6 diopters or less (not too nearsighted or farsighted)
- For children with suspected retinal disease: a genetic test has found a disease-causing change in a retinal gene
- For healthy controls: no signs or history of retinal problems

This trial studies a light-guided eye treatment in people with generalized inherited retinal disease (a genetic cause of vision loss). It aims to see whether the approach works safely and can improve function for people whose vision is already significantly reduced.
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 study tests a new camera that automatically adjusts to take clear pictures of the back of the eye. It aims to improve retinal imaging for healthy adults, adult eye clinic patients, and children seen at Duke Eye Center.
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye (retina) of premature infants who are at risk for retinopathy of prematurity, a condition that can harm vision. It aims to improve care and monitoring by using advanced eye imaging to see more detail than current methods.
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.
This study uses pictures to map the tiny blood vessels in an infant’s retina (the back of the eye). It may help researchers better understand how eye blood vessel growth happens in premature babies who need screening for ROP (retinopathy of prematurity).
