Electric eye therapy: can a home device slow blindness?
NCT ID NCT07531927
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a device that delivers mild electrical pulses to the eye (transcorneal electrical stimulation) can safely slow the progression of geographic atrophy, an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. About 70 people aged 60 and older will use the device at home for 30 minutes once a week for a year. The study compares two different types of electrical stimulation against a sham (placebo) treatment to see which works best.
