How sugar affects eye thickness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how a single sugary drink changes the thickness of a layer inside your eye (the choroid). It may help researchers understand how diet affects eye health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have no more than about 6 diopters of nearsightedness or farsightedness.
- You have not been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes.
- You have no known retinal disease or other eye condition that could affect the results.
- You have no other health problems that would make it hard to take part or that would make your data less useful.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a thin “sugar coating” on the inside surface of the eye (the endothelial glycocalyx) in people with primary open-angle glaucoma and compares it with people without optic nerve disease. The results may help researchers better understand how glaucoma affects the eye.
This study uses a special eye scan (optical coherence tomography) to measure the thickness of a layer in the back of the eye (choroid) in people with type 2 diabetes who have not had any eye treatments. It compares these measurements to those of healthy people to see how diabetes affects this eye layer.
This study looks at how blood sugar control (measured by HbA1c) relates to tiny blood vessel changes in the back of the eye in people with diabetes. It uses a special camera (OCTA) to take detailed pictures of the retina without needing a dye injection.
This study looks at how fat and sugar levels in the blood relate to different stages of eye damage in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help find new ways to treat or prevent vision loss.
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.
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.
