Electric eye therapy: could a simple device slow blindness?
NCT ID NCT07531927
First seen Apr 19, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests if a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the eye (transcorneal electrical stimulation, or TES) is safe and can slow the progression of geographic atrophy, a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. About 70 people aged 60 and older with this condition will use a device at home for 30 minutes once a week for a year. The study compares two types of electrical pulses against a sham (placebo) treatment to see if the therapy can protect the retina.
