Neuroretinitis

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 tests a new eye imaging device (VG200D OCT) that takes detailed pictures of the retina. It compares these images to standard dye-based images (FA/ICGA) to see if the new device works just as well. About 30 adults with retina problems will take part. The goal is to see …

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 program provides comprehensive low vision rehabilitation services to children aged 3 to 21 with vision impairment. Participants are prescribed optical devices and trained to use them, with the goal of improving their visual functioning and ability to read. The program aims t…

This study tests a device called Walkasins, worn on the lower legs, that vibrates to give sensory feedback about foot pressure. The goal is to see if using it daily for six months improves balance and walking in 200 adults aged 55+ with peripheral neuropathy. Participants will do…

This pilot study tests whether a non-invasive headset that delivers mild electrical stimulation to nerves behind the ear can safely improve sleep in adults who are blind or severely sight impaired. Sixty participants will use the device for 30 minutes a day, five times a week for…

This study tests a smartphone-based tool called VisionWay that helps people with visual impairments choose the most accessible walking path before they start walking. Researchers will ask participants to walk different routes on a university campus and rate sidewalk features like…

This study is creating a large collection of health information and biological samples (like blood, saliva, and eye tissue) from people with and without retinal diseases. Researchers aim to use this database to better understand conditions like age-related macular degeneration an…

This study is observing 300 children under 18 with uveitis, an eye inflammation condition. Researchers want to learn how common different types of uveitis are and what treatments children receive. Participants have one visit with their doctor, and some will have their medical rec…

This study uses a special camera (adaptive optics) to take detailed pictures of the back of the eye in people with inherited retinal diseases. Researchers want to see how individual cells change over time and after treatments. About 200 participants aged 5 to 70 will be observed,…

This study aims to see if a quick bedside sensory test can predict which painkiller—pregabalin, duloxetine, or a placebo—works best for people with nerve pain in their feet. About 190 adults with diabetic, chemotherapy-related, or idiopathic nerve pain will try each treatment for…

This study is collecting information from 4,000 adults with peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) to better understand the condition. Researchers will combine standard tests with nerve ultrasound to see if it helps diagnose and track the disease. No new treatments are being tested…

This study gathers eye scan images from 180 people with healthy eyes or eye diseases like glaucoma and retinal disease. The goal is to collect data using a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) device called A10900. No treatment or medication is given. The information will help …

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 is collecting nerve samples and biofluids from 400 people with ALS or peripheral neuropathies to find biological markers for early diagnosis and disease tracking. By analyzing individual cells, researchers hope to identify molecular changes that happen before symptoms …

This study looks at how older adults with and without vision problems step over obstacles of different heights and colors. Researchers want to understand how vision and eye movements affect walking to help prevent falls. About 200 adults who can walk on their own will take part.
