Testing carbon dioxide levels on eye structure in children
This study looks at how changing the level of carbon dioxide in the blood affects a layer in the back of the eye (the choroid) in children having an eye exam under anesthesia. It may help doctors understand eye health better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be having an eye exam while under anesthesia.
- Your child must be between newborn and 8 years old.
- Your child cannot have a known medical condition that affects the eye being studied.
- Your child must not have certain brain, heart, or lung conditions that could be affected.
- Your child must be using a laryngeal mask airway (a special breathing tube) during the procedure.

This study measures how eye pressure and standard eye-function tests perform in people with normal eyes, higher eye pressure, or early signs of glaucoma. It may help researchers understand who is at risk and how best to monitor eye health before or during glaucoma.
This study looks at how the body’s automatic nerve system affects steady eye pressure (“ocular homeostasis”). If you have normal-pressure glaucoma or open-angle glaucoma and autonomic dysfunction, you may be able to help researchers understand what influences eye pressure and eye health.
This study looks at how different laser eye surgery techniques affect eye pressure (intraocular pressure) after the procedure. If you have moderate nearsightedness, this could help determine which surgery method is safest for you.
This study looks at how levels of carbon dioxide in the breath affect brain activity during anesthesia in children. It helps doctors understand the best way to monitor and keep a child safely asleep during surgery.
This study looks at how the carbon dioxide gas used during keyhole kidney cancer surgery affects the pressure behind your eye. The goal is to see if changes in gas pressure influence the nerve sheath that surrounds the optic nerve.
This study looks at how different strength training exercises and breathing techniques affect eye pressure and blood flow to the retina. It aims to find safe exercise approaches for young, healthy adults to potentially protect eye health.
