Eye Blood Vessel Imaging in Former Premature Infants
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to look at tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye in children born very early. Researchers want to understand how premature birth and a lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia might affect eye blood vessel development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Lives near CHI Créteil hospital in France
- Enrolled in French social security
- Able to cooperate for an eye exam without behavioral or developmental difficulties

This study uses a special eye scan (OCT angiography) to create a reference database of normal blood vessels in healthy eyes. It helps doctors compare and diagnose eye conditions later.
This study uses pictures to map the tiny blood vessels in an infant’s retina (the back of the eye). It may help researchers better understand how eye blood vessel growth happens in premature babies who need screening for ROP (retinopathy of prematurity).
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye (retina) of premature infants who are at risk for retinopathy of prematurity, a condition that can harm vision. It aims to improve care and monitoring by using advanced eye imaging to see more detail than current methods.
This study looks at eye structure in children who were in an earlier premature-baby eye study and are now around 4.5–5 years old. It may help researchers better understand how eye disease in prematurity develops and how to monitor it.
This study uses an advanced eye scan (OCT-A) to look at tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye. It compares people with systemic blood vessel conditions (like high blood pressure or inflammatory disease) to healthy volunteers, to see if the eye scan can help predict or understand these diseases.
This trial studies rare diseases affecting the retina or choroid using detailed eye scans (OCT). It may help doctors better understand how these conditions look in the eye and how imaging findings relate to vision.
