Eye fixation training before pterygium surgery
Part of Eyes & vision, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether video-guided education and eye fixation training help patients stay calm and cooperate during pterygium surgery done under local anesthesia. It may reduce anxiety and improve the surgical experience.

This trial compares how the curve of your cornea (which affects vision) changes before and after surgery to remove a pterygium—a fleshy growth on the eye—and repair the area with your own tissue. It is for adults with moderate to advanced pterygium that has already caused astigmatism.
This study compares two surgical methods to see which better prevents a pterygium (a fleshy growth on the eye) from coming back. It may help people with a first-time pterygium choose a more effective treatment.
This trial tests whether using an AI-assisted 3D visualization of your knee before surgery can reduce anxiety and fear of movement (kinesiophobia) after knee replacement. You would receive extra visual education along with standard care to see if it helps you feel less stressed and more confident about moving after surgery.
This trial uses eye-tracking glasses to study how doctors and medical students learn and work before, during, and after surgery. It may help improve training and patient care.
This study tests whether watching an animated video before retinal surgery helps patients understand their procedure and feel more prepared. It may reduce anxiety and improve recovery.
This study compares different types of general anesthesia by checking how your pupils (the black part of the eye) respond after surgery. It may help doctors understand which anesthesia options are better for eye-related side effects after planned ear, nose, or throat operations.
