Study on how treatment for severe nearsightedness eye disease affects your life
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how the treatment for a condition called myopic choroidal neovascularization (abnormal blood vessels in the central vision due to severe nearsightedness) affects patients' daily lives. It aims to understand the burden of treatment on people with this eye problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have high nearsightedness (more than -6 diopters) or your eye is very long (over 26 mm).
- You have changes in the back of the eye typical of severe nearsightedness (pathologic myopia).
- You have been diagnosed with a new type of abnormal blood vessel in your central vision area that hasn't been treated yet.
- The abnormal blood vessel is in or very near the center of your vision, not off to the side.
- You don't have other eye diseases or inflammation that could cause similar blood vessel growth.
- You haven't had eye surgery before (except for cataract removal done before the study started), and your eye scans are clear enough to read.

This trial uses advanced imaging and artificial intelligence to predict how well patients with myopic macular neovascularization (a complication of severe nearsightedness) will respond to anti-VEGF injections over time. The goal is to identify who will benefit most from ongoing treatment.
This study follows people with high myopia over time to monitor their eye health. It aims to better understand how very nearsighted eyes change.
This study follows about 1,000 people with severe nearsightedness to better understand their eye health over time. If you have severe myopia and can be seen at one of the study centers, you may be able to contribute to research that can help guide future care.
This study looks at how people with very high myopia and certain retinal changes experience their vision in daily life. It uses questionnaires and a driving simulator to understand their visual function.
This study examines why some people with nearsightedness see better than others, even with similar eyeglass prescriptions. Researchers will ask you questions and perform eye exams to understand the factors that influence your visual comfort and clarity.
This study is looking for biomarkers (clues in your body) related to abnormal blood vessels in the eye. It may help researchers understand and treat conditions like macular degeneration.
