This study looks at how well people with vision loss can do everyday tasks at home and in public. Researchers want to find better ways to measure how vision problems affect mobility, so they can help people live more independently.
This study looks at how well the eyes function in people with early or intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It uses imaging and vision tests to help doctors better understand the condition.
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.
This study uses health records to see how to increase eye exam screening for people with diabetes who may be at risk of diabetic retinopathy. It aims to help more people get timely eye checks to prevent vision problems.
This trial tests a village-based approach to bring eye care closer to older community members. If you live in the right area and are willing to participate, it may help improve access to eye screening and services.
