Diabetes eye health observation study
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study observes how diabetes affects vision over time in people with diabetes. It helps doctors better understand eye health without any treatment or intervention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
- Your vision is at least 20/32 (able to read most letters on an eye chart).
- You have not had any previous treatments for diabetic eye disease.
- You do not need treatment for diabetic retinopathy or diabetic macular edema in the next 6 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows patients with diabetic eye swelling (a complication of diabetes affecting the macula, the part of your eye needed for detailed vision) who are receiving anti-VEGF injections—a standard treatment that reduces abnormal blood vessel growth. Researchers will measure how well your retina (the light-sensitive tissue in your eye) recovers and functions over time.
This study follows people with type 2 diabetes to understand how diabetic retinopathy (an eye disease caused by diabetes) changes over time without treatment. It may help if you have no other eye issues causing new blood vessels and are not planning for certain eye procedures.
This study closely follows people with type 2 diabetes who have early signs of diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina from diabetes) to see how the condition changes over time. It does not test a new treatment but monitors the eye's health closely. It may be a good fit if you have diabetic retinopathy that does not need immediate treatment.
This study looks back at medical records of people with type 2 diabetes to understand how diabetic eye disease (retinopathy) progresses and when treatment is needed. It may help doctors better predict risks and guide future care.
This study uses special eye photographs to look at early signs of diabetes damage in the eyes and kidneys. It may help doctors predict how diabetes complications progress and plan better care.
This study looks at how images and other tests of the eye can help predict diabetic retinopathy, an eye problem caused by diabetes that can lead to vision loss. If you have diabetes, your eye health will be monitored closely. If you do not, you may participate as a healthy comparison.
