Measuring eye layer thickness in type 2 diabetes
Part of Eyes & vision, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special eye scan (optical coherence tomography) to measure the thickness of a layer in the back of the eye (choroid) in people with type 2 diabetes who have not had any eye treatments. It compares these measurements to those of healthy people to see how diabetes affects this eye layer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 95 years old
- You have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (or you are a healthy person without diabetes)
- You have not had any eye treatments before (like injections or laser)
- Your vision is at least 6/60 (can read the big E on an eye chart) or better
- You do not have other eye diseases like glaucoma or retinal disease

This study tests a new camera software to help general practitioners check for diabetic retinopathy, an eye problem caused by diabetes. It is for people with type 1 or 2 diabetes who are 40 or older.
This study measures blood flow in the eyes and how the retina (back of the eye) uses oxygen in people with diabetes who are starting a new type of diabetes medication. Researchers want to understand how these newer medications affect blood vessels in the eyes.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to look at how blood vessels in the retina change in people with conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or abnormal cholesterol. It may help doctors better understand how these common illnesses affect the eyes.
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 uses a special eye scan (OCT) to look for very early signs of eye damage in people with diabetes who have no vision problems yet. It aims to catch changes before symptoms start.
This study follows people with type 2 diabetes to understand how diabetic retinopathy (an eye disease caused by diabetes) changes over time without treatment. It may help if you have no other eye issues causing new blood vessels and are not planning for certain eye procedures.
