Comparing eye scans for detecting blood vessels in macular degeneration
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two types of eye scan machines to see which one is better at detecting abnormal blood vessels in people with a specific eye condition called pigment epithelium detachment, which is related to age-related macular degeneration.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being treated for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that causes abnormal blood vessels in the eye.
- You have a specific type of retinal swelling called a pigment epithelium detachment (PED) that is thicker than 250 microns.
- You need to have had good-quality eye scans that clearly show the layers of the retina.

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 uses a special eye scan (OCT angiography) to look at new, abnormal blood vessel growth in people with wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) who have not been treated yet. It may help researchers better understand the disease and how it changes over time.
This study uses specialized eye imaging to track changes in geographic atrophy, a type of vision loss from macular degeneration. Researchers will use new imaging techniques to better understand how this condition progresses and how treatments work.
This study uses an OCT scan, a painless imaging test, to look for early signs of diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina caused by diabetes) in people who have no symptoms. It aims to detect problems early so they can be managed before vision is affected.
This study uses special eye scans and tests to look for blood vessel problems that may be linked to dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It might help find new ways to treat the condition.
This study uses a detailed eye scan (optical coherence tomography angiography) to look at how blood vessels in the retina are affected. It may help researchers better understand retinal vascular diseases, though some people will be excluded for safety or image-quality reasons.
