Eye degenerative disorder

This study tested three low doses of atropine eye drops (0.01%, 0.03%, and 0.05%) in 95 children aged 6–18 with nearsightedness. The goal was to see which dose best slowed the worsening of myopia with the fewest side effects. Over 18 months, the 0.05% dose worked best at controll…

This study tested a drug called faricimab (VABYSMO®) against an existing treatment (ranibizumab) for people with vision loss caused by abnormal blood vessels growing in the back of the eye due to severe nearsightedness. The trial involved 280 participants who received either fari…

This study looked at whether adding bifocal glasses to daily atropine eye drops works better than atropine alone to slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children. 210 kids aged 4-16 with worsening myopia took part. The main goal was to measure changes in their vision prescriptio…

This early-phase trial tested a gene therapy called ZM-01 in 2 boys aged 3 to 18 with X-linked retinoschisis, a rare genetic eye condition that causes vision loss. Each boy received an injection of the therapy into one eye. The main goal was to check safety, but researchers also …

This study tested three strengths of atropine eye drops (0.01%, 0.04%, and 0.1%) in 219 children with high myopia (severe nearsightedness). The goal was to see which dose best slows the worsening of vision and eye growth over two years. Children received one drop in each eye ever…

This study tested whether combining low-dose atropine eye drops with special soft contact lenses can slow the progression of high myopia (severe nearsightedness) in children aged 6-12. 120 children were split into three groups: one got the combo therapy, one got atropine alone wi…

This study tests whether a smartphone-based camera can accurately screen for eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. About 550 patients will have photos taken with both the smartphone camera and standard equipment. Ophthalmologis…

This study tested a computer system called i-ROP DL that automatically checks eye images from premature babies for a serious condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which can cause blindness. Researchers used over 1,200 babies' eye photos from multiple hospitals to see…

This early study tested a tiny dexamethasone insert placed in the tear duct of 15 children after retinal surgery or laser treatment. The goal was to see if it could safely reduce pain and eye inflammation. Researchers measured pain using a standard scale and tracked any side effe…

This study examined 39 people with severe nearsightedness to see if lower levels of a natural eye pigment (macular pigment) are linked to tiny cracks in the back of the eye called lacquer cracks. These cracks can lead to vision loss. The researchers measured the pigment's optical…

This study tested dexamethasone eye drops in 11 premature infants at risk of blindness from retinopathy of prematurity. Researchers measured how the drug enters the blood and saliva, and monitored for side effects. The goal was to gather safety and dosing information, not to prov…

This study explored whether the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in premature babies' bodies is linked to a serious eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Researchers measured omega-3 levels in 62 premature newborns born before 29 weeks. The goal was to see if lower …

This completed study looked at over 7,000 premature infants to understand which babies develop a serious eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and need treatment. Researchers used a cloud-based database to compare risk factors and outcomes. The goal was to improve…

This study looked at 175 premature babies to see if high iron levels in their blood during the first month of life are linked to a serious eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Researchers measured iron-related markers and tracked which babies developed ROP. The …

This study looked at whether whole genome sequencing (a complete read of a person's DNA) can help diagnose leukodystrophies, a group of rare brain diseases that are hard to identify. Researchers enrolled 236 children with white matter abnormalities on brain scans but no known gen…

This study followed about 100 babies who were treated for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with either Eylea injections or laser therapy in an earlier trial. Researchers checked their vision and eye health years later to see how well the treatments held up. The goal is to underst…
