This study is testing a smartphone app called eyeFusion that measures how fast your eye can detect flickering lights. The goal is to see if the app can help doctors quickly find blind spots (scotomas) in people with eye disorders. About 500 people, including healthy volunteers an…

This study tests whether shifting text to healthier parts of the visual field can help people with age-related macular degeneration read faster and make fewer mistakes. About 108 participants with central vision loss will try two different text-remapping methods. The goal is to f…

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 develop a method to adjust the strength of transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) for each person. Researchers will test how tFUS affects vision in 30 healthy adults aged 18-70. The goal is to find the right dose for each individual to make future treatments mo…

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 looks at whether special vision training can improve how people with central vision loss from macular degeneration see and move their eyes. Researchers will train 60 adults aged 18 to 89 with severe vision loss to better detect and discriminate visual patterns. The goa…

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 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…
