NCT ID NCT07151755

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests a new procedure for people who suddenly lose vision due to a blocked artery in the eye. Surgeons will use a tiny microneedle to deliver clot-busting medicine directly into the artery during eye surgery. The study will compare this approach to standard care in 24 participants, tracking vision recovery over one year.
