Making eye exams more comfortable
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a way to make the part of an eye exam where the doctor presses on your eye more comfortable for people with a specific eye condition called posterior vitreous detachment (when the gel inside the eye pulls away from the back).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a condition called symptomatic posterior vitreous detachment (when the eye gel pulls away and causes symptoms like flashes or floaters)
- Both of your eyes have usable vision (you are not one-eyed or blind in one eye)
- You can see well enough for the doctor to check the back of your eye with a special lens
- You are able to cooperate with the exam and move your eyes in all directions
- You do not have any current eye pain from recent surgery, inflammation, or other eye problems
- You are not currently taking pain medication and do not have a chronic pain condition

This trial measures eye pressure at the end of a type of eye surgery called vitrectomy. It helps doctors understand how the surgery affects pressure inside the eye.
This study looks at how parts of the eye’s optic nerve and retinal surface look and change in people with glaucoma (or certain eye procedures) and in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand eye anatomy, which could guide future care.
This study uses a special camera (Brillouin microscopy) to measure how stiff your cornea is. It compares people with different types of glaucoma to those without glaucoma, helping researchers understand the link between corneal stiffness and eye pressure.
This study looks at how blood flow changes in the eye after a type of retinal detachment surgery called scleral buckling. It uses imaging to check the eye's blood vessels, and may help doctors understand recovery better.
This trial tests a new eye-numbing gel against the standard numbing method to see which works better for patients getting regular anti-VEGF injections in the eye.
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.
