Congenital stationary night blindness 1G

This study tests whether injecting a person's own bone marrow stem cells into or near the eye can help treat various retinal and optic nerve diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and glaucoma. Participants receive stem cell injections via dif…

This early-stage trial is testing a brain implant designed to create artificial vision in people who are blind. Five participants will have a wireless device surgically placed in the part of the brain that processes vision. The study will check if the device is safe and whether i…

This pilot study is testing a brain implant that uses tiny electrodes to stimulate the visual cortex, aiming to create simple visual perceptions (phosphenes) in blind individuals. Five participants will undergo a small skull opening to receive the implant. The goal is to see if t…

This study tests a new eye imaging device (VG200D OCT) that takes detailed pictures of the retina. It compares these images to standard dye-based images (FA/ICGA) to see if the new device works just as well. About 30 adults with retina problems will take part. The goal is to see …

This study tests a special camera that takes detailed images of the retina using many wavelengths of light. Researchers hope it can find early signs of eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. About 1,000 adults in Melbourne, Austral…

This program provides comprehensive low vision rehabilitation services to children aged 3 to 21 with vision impairment. Participants are prescribed optical devices and trained to use them, with the goal of improving their visual functioning and ability to read. The program aims t…

This pilot study tests whether a non-invasive headset that delivers mild electrical stimulation to nerves behind the ear can safely improve sleep in adults who are blind or severely sight impaired. Sixty participants will use the device for 30 minutes a day, five times a week for…

This study tests a smartphone-based tool called VisionWay that helps people with visual impairments choose the most accessible walking path before they start walking. Researchers will ask participants to walk different routes on a university campus and rate sidewalk features like…

This study uses a special camera (adaptive optics) to take detailed pictures of the back of the eye in people with inherited retinal diseases. Researchers want to see how individual cells change over time and after treatments. About 200 participants aged 5 to 70 will be observed,…

This study gathers eye scan images from 180 people with healthy eyes or eye diseases like glaucoma and retinal disease. The goal is to collect data using a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) device called A10900. No treatment or medication is given. The information will help …

This study looks at how older adults with and without vision problems step over obstacles of different heights and colors. Researchers want to understand how vision and eye movements affect walking to help prevent falls. About 200 adults who can walk on their own will take part.
