Lutein eye treatment for age-related macular degeneration
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to deliver lutein, a nutrient that may help with eye health, directly into the eye using a mild electrical current (called iontophoresis). It is for people with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common cause of vision loss in older adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 55 years of age or older
- You have a specific type of age-related macular degeneration (called AREDS category 3) in at least one eye
- Your vision in the study eye is not too poor (20/32 or better) and you need only mild glasses or contacts
- You have not had eye surgery, injections, or laser treatment in the study eye within the past 3 months
- You have not taken lutein or zeaxanthin supplements or any other eye health supplements in the last month
- You do not have serious eye problems like glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, or dry eye in the study eye

This trial tests a new type of electrical stimulation, called microcurrent therapy, to see if it can help people with a certain form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that is not the "wet" kind. The treatment is delivered through an eye patch-like device and may slow vision loss or improve function.
This trial tests a new light-based treatment for intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common eye condition that can lead to vision loss. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps slow down the disease.
This study tests a new laser treatment (MacuTherm) for intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD), an eye condition that affects central vision. The study aims to see if this treatment can slow or prevent progression to more advanced stages of the disease.
This trial tests a gene therapy called LX109 for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition where abnormal blood vessels damage the retina. The therapy aims to reduce the need for frequent eye injections by providing a longer-lasting treatment.
This study tests whether low-level red-light therapy can help people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common cause of vision loss in older adults. The therapy is a painless light treatment that you might receive in multiple sessions, and the study aims to see if it can slow or improve vision decline.
This trial studies whether taking omega-3 fatty acids can slow the worsening of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in people with early or intermediate disease. It may help by testing if omega-3 changes how the retina changes over time.
