Degenerative myopia

This study tests if a special red light device can slow down damage to the back of the eye in people with severe nearsightedness (pathologic myopia). About 158 adults will use the device or a fake one for 3 minutes, twice a day, 5 days a week for a year. Researchers will check if…

This study tests whether a probiotic called MR-61 can help slow the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children and teens aged 3 to 18. Participants will take either the probiotic or a placebo daily for a period, and researchers will measure changes in their vision and eye …

This study will enroll 500,000 people with high myopia and cataracts to develop an artificial intelligence model that helps doctors calculate the correct lens power and grade cataracts more accurately. The goal is to improve vision outcomes and reduce complications after surgery.…

This study is testing whether artificial intelligence can analyze eye images to better detect and predict vision-threatening changes in people with high myopia (severe nearsightedness). Researchers will collect eye scans from 1,000 patients and use AI to identify a condition call…

This study is testing a new type of daily disposable contact lens called UNICON. It will involve 35 adults who already wear soft contact lenses. Participants will wear the test lenses for up to 13 weeks to see if they are safe and comfortable for correcting nearsightedness.

This study looks at 200 highly myopic adults in France, the Netherlands, and Spain to understand why some develop a condition called posterior staphyloma, where the back of the eye bulges outward. Researchers will analyze blood samples and eye images to find genetic and molecular…

This pilot study is testing how well children aged 6 to 16 adapt to Essilor Stellest myopia-control spectacle lenses. The goal is to see if kids find them comfortable and easy to wear in real life, which is important for long-term use. Fifty children with progressive myopia will …

This study is creating a large database of eye measurements from 3,000 people with inflammatory eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. Researchers will use advanced imaging to collect detailed information from both the front and back of the e…

This study is developing imaging and computer simulation tools to predict how a person's cornea (the clear front part of the eye) will change after treatments like crosslinking for keratoconus or LASIK for vision correction. Researchers will take detailed images of the eyes of 60…

This study follows 60,000 people with cataracts, including those with high myopia (severe nearsightedness), to see how their vision changes after cataract surgery. Researchers will also look at genetic and environmental factors that might affect cataract development and surgical …
