Metabolic health and eye inflammation in diabetic retinopathy
Part of Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how metabolism and inflammation in the eye are linked in people with diabetes who have or haven't developed diabetic retinopathy. It may help doctors understand why some people get eye damage and others don't.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 40 years old.
- You have diabetes or are having cataract surgery without diabetes.
- If you have diabetic retinopathy, you haven't had eye surgery or laser treatment in the last 3 months.
- You are willing to sign a consent form.
- You do not have active eye inflammation, high myopia, or are pregnant.

This study looks back at medical records of people with type 2 diabetes to understand how diabetic eye disease (retinopathy) progresses and when treatment is needed. It may help doctors better predict risks and guide future care.
This study tests whether advanced eye imaging can predict how diabetic eye disease (retinopathy) may worsen over time. If you have type 2 diabetes and early to moderate diabetic retinopathy without swelling in the central part of the retina, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new approach aimed at improving diabetic eye disease (diabetic retinopathy). It may help by changing inflammation and related processes in the eye, especially in people who have diabetes and eye changes.
This study closely follows people with type 2 diabetes who have early signs of diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina from diabetes) to see how the condition changes over time. It does not test a new treatment but monitors the eye's health closely. It may be a good fit if you have diabetic retinopathy that does not need immediate treatment.
This study looks for specific eye findings (“biomarkers”) in people with type 2 diabetes using eye imaging. It may help researchers better understand diabetic retinopathy and how to detect it earlier or more accurately.
This study looks at early damage to the retina (the back of the eye) in people with type 2 diabetes, even before vision problems start. It aims to find new ways to detect and treat diabetic eye disease early.
