This pilot study tests whether shining near-infrared light on the eye can reduce macular edema—swelling in the central retina—caused by a retinal vein occlusion. Six participants with this condition will receive 12 light treatments over about five weeks. The main goal is to see i…

This study tested a low dose of the drug bevacizumab (Avastin) against standard laser treatment for retinopathy of prematurity, an eye disease that can blind premature infants. Sixteen babies with severe disease were enrolled. The goal was to see if the drug could control the dis…

This study tested two different proton therapy schedules for people with large choroidal melanomas (eye cancer) that would normally require removal of the eye. The goal was to see if a gentler radiation schedule could control the tumor and avoid severe side effects, allowing pati…

This study tested whether giving a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase or alteplase) within 4.5 hours of an eye stroke could restore vision. Eye stroke, or central retinal artery occlusion, is a blockage in the eye's main artery that often causes permanent vision loss. The trial aime…

This study tested a single injection of avoralstat into the eye for people with diabetic macular edema, a condition that causes vision loss in diabetes. Only 3 adults took part before the study was stopped early. The main goal was to check safety and see if the drug might help re…

This early-stage study tested a new oral drug called K9 for diabetic macular edema, a condition that causes vision loss in people with diabetes. The trial was stopped early and only enrolled one person. The main goal was to check safety and measure changes in retinal swelling and…

This early-stage trial tested a modified virus (VSV-IFNbetaTYRP1) in 12 patients with advanced melanoma that had spread or could not be removed by surgery. The virus was designed to infect and kill melanoma cells while also boosting the immune system's attack. The main goals were…

This study tested whether anti-VEGF injections into the eye could help treat Coats disease, a rare condition that causes abnormal blood vessels and fluid buildup in the retina, potentially leading to blindness. The trial included 18 people with early-stage Coats disease who had n…

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence program called NeoRetina can accurately detect diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema from simple eye photographs. Researchers will compare the AI's analysis to standard exams by eye doctors. The goal is to see if this …

This study tested a new software called AngioScan, used with an already-approved eye camera, to see if it can take better pictures of the back of the eye. Researchers looked at 150 patients with retinal problems like macular degeneration. The goal was to find out if the software …

This study looked at whether special eye scans (OCT-angiography) can predict how well the remaining kidney will work one year after kidney removal for cancer. Researchers enrolled 30 adults scheduled for total nephrectomy. The goal was to see if retinal blood vessel patterns coul…

This study tested a new, non-invasive eye imaging method called hyperspectral imaging. It takes pictures of the back of the eye using many different colors of light to find details not visible with standard cameras. About 679 adults with healthy eyes or eye diseases like diabetic…
