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.

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 camera to measure the thickness of the back of the eye, which may help detect early signs of diabetes-related eye damage. It compares people with type 2 diabetes who haven't had eye treatment to healthy people without diabetes.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to look at the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye and compares them between people with diabetes whose blood sugar is well-controlled and those whose is not. The goal is to understand how blood sugar control affects eye health in people with diabetic retinopathy.
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 looks at how different foods and drinks affect the blood vessels in your eyes. By taking pictures of your retina (the back of the eye) after certain meals, researchers hope to learn more about diet and eye health.
This study compares two types of diabetes medications (GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors) to see how they affect blood vessels in the back of the eye over time. It may help doctors understand if one drug is better for protecting your eyes.
