Smart contact lens for Stargardt disease
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a new 'smart' contact lens that may help people with Stargardt disease see better. You will wear the lens for a short time so the team can check how well it works and how comfortable it feels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have been diagnosed with Stargardt disease (a rare inherited eye condition that causes vision loss)
- Your eyesight in both eyes together is at least 20/400 — meaning you can see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision sees at 400 feet
- You can wear a special large contact lens that sits on the white of the eye
- You do not have other serious eye problems like severe dry eye, keratoconus, or a history of corneal infections

This study follows people with Stargardt disease (a genetic eye condition that causes vision loss) over time. It aims to learn more about how the disease progresses and does not test any treatment.
This study tests a new way to measure vision, called MLSDT, in people with normal sight or vision loss from Stargardt disease or geographic atrophy (a type of advanced age-related macular degeneration). Results will help doctors better understand how well patients can see.
This trial tests a new gene therapy called SB-007 for people with Stargardt disease (STGD1). It is given as an injection under the retina to see if it is safe and can help slow vision loss.
This trial tests a single injection of a new medicine, RTx-021, into the eye for people with Stargardt disease. The goal is to see if it is safe and to find the right dose.
This study will check if certain vision tests work well in people with retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa or Stargardt. Results will help design future trials.
This study observes how Stargardt disease and similar eye conditions change over time in children and adults. It aims to learn more about the disease progression to help develop future treatments.
