Low tension glaucoma

This study tests whether injecting a person's own bone marrow stem cells into or near the eye can help treat various retinal and optic nerve diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and glaucoma. Participants receive stem cell injections via dif…

This study compares two small implants (XEN-63 and PRESERFLO) placed during a quick surgery to lower eye pressure in adults with open-angle glaucoma. About 166 participants will be randomly assigned to one implant and followed for 2 years. The goal is to see if PRESERFLO works as…

This study tests whether a tiny drainage device called the Preserflo MicroShunt can lower eye pressure as well as the standard trabeculectomy surgery in adults with open-angle glaucoma. One hundred participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two procedures and wi…

This study tests whether a weak electrical current applied to the eye's surface can improve vision in people with open-angle glaucoma. Fifty adults with worsening vision loss will receive either real or sham stimulation over several sessions. The goal is to see if this safe, non-…

This early study tests whether QLS-111 eye drops can improve blood flow to the back of the eye in people with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy or certain types of glaucoma. Fourteen participants will use the drops twice daily for two weeks. The main goal is to measure chang…

This study tests whether a daily supplement called BrudyGlauco (containing DHA and citicoline) can help protect eyesight in people with glaucoma. About 108 participants will take either the supplement or a placebo for 12 months. The goal is to see if it slows vision loss and impr…

This study tests a new smart contact lens that measures eye pressure continuously for 24 hours, compared to standard spot checks. It involves 12 adults with glaucoma or high eye pressure. The goal is to see if the lens provides accurate readings day and night, which could lead to…

This study tests a special camera that takes detailed images of the retina using many wavelengths of light. Researchers hope it can find early signs of eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. About 1,000 adults in Melbourne, Austral…

This study screens people with eye diseases to see if they can join other research studies at the National Eye Institute. No treatment is given. Participants undergo eye exams, blood tests, and other procedures to diagnose or evaluate their condition. The goal is simply to determ…

This study tests a special camera that takes super-detailed pictures of the back of the eye (the retina). The goal is to see if this technology can find eye diseases earlier than standard methods. Up to 1,000 people aged 12 and older, with or without eye disease, will have their …

This study aims to learn more about eye diseases by observing and providing standard care to up to 1,000 people over 5 years. Participants receive regular eye exams, tests, and treatments as needed. The goal is to better understand how eye diseases progress and are inherited, not…

This study tests whether artificial intelligence can create simple summaries of eye doctor notes that are easier for patients to understand. About 460 English-speaking adults receiving eye care will get either standard notes or notes plus an AI-generated plain language summary. P…

This study tests a new 4D microscope-integrated OCT system for the first time in people during eye surgery. Researchers want to see if the system is easy to use, safe, and can clearly show eye structures. Five adults having eye surgery will take part. The goal is to improve imagi…

This study aims to create a database of eye images using a new holographic Doppler laser device. The goal is to better visualize and measure blood flow in the retina and choroid, which is important for diagnosing eye diseases. About 123 adults, both with and without eye condition…

This study gathers standard eye movement and pupil data from 200 healthy volunteers, children, and people with eye or brain conditions using a VR headset called neos™. The headset shows images and tracks where participants look, how their pupils react, and how their eyes move. Th…

This study tests a new, more comfortable eye camera (WiSLO) designed for children and adults. Researchers want to see if it takes better pictures and is less bothersome than current cameras. About 42 people with or without eye disease will have their eyes photographed with both t…

This pilot study is testing whether a non-contact imaging technique called Brillouin microscopy can measure corneal stiffness in people with glaucoma. Researchers will compare these measurements between patients with high-tension glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma, and healthy con…
