Light treatment for aging eyes
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a new light-based treatment to help aging eyes focus better on close objects, which could reduce the need for reading glasses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 40 to 65
- Healthy cornea (clear front part of the eye)
- Need glasses or contacts for distance between +4.0 and -5.0
- Your natural lens is intact or you had cataract surgery at least 6 months ago
- Your vision can be adjusted by a very small amount with glasses

This study tests a new light-based treatment (crosslinking) to help aging eyes focus up close again without needing reading glasses. It may be a good option if you are 40–65, your prescription is moderate, and your eyes are generally healthy.
This study tests a new device called Opti-K that helps people see better up close without needing reading glasses. It may be an option if you are over 40, have had cataract surgery or no significant cataracts, and rely on reading glasses for near tasks.
This trial studies how well patients see light after getting a special kind of lens implant that helps with both near and far vision without glasses. It aims to understand how their eyes perceive brightness compared to normal vision.
This trial tests a new LASIK technique called PRESBYOND to improve vision at all distances in people with presbyopia (age-related need for reading glasses). It uses the MEL90 excimer laser to reshape the cornea.
This trial tests a new treatment called the VIS Opti-K™ System to help people with presbyopia (age-related trouble seeing up close) see better without glasses. It uses a special lens to improve near vision in one eye while keeping distance vision clear.
This trial tests a specific cataract replacement lens to see how safe it is and how well it improves vision. If you have cataracts in both eyes and are good candidate for cataract surgery, this lens may help you see more clearly after surgery.
