Retinopathy of prematurity

This trial tests whether a modified soft contact lens placed on the cornea during vitrectomy, a surgery for retinal disease, keeps the surgical view clearer than the standard method of intermittent saline irrigation. Researchers randomly assign 46 participants to receive either t…

This trial investigates whether an injection of ranibizumab, a drug that blocks abnormal blood vessel growth, can effectively treat aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP) in premature infants. AP-ROP is a fast-progressing eye condition that can lead to retinal d…

This study tests whether a smartphone-based camera can accurately screen for eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. About 550 patients will have photos taken with both the smartphone camera and standard equipment. Ophthalmologis…

This study is testing a new eye imaging device called the VG200D, which uses advanced technology to take detailed pictures of the eye. Researchers want to see if it works as well as a standard device for measuring parts of the eye in people with glaucoma, retina problems, corneal…

This study tested a computer system called i-ROP DL that automatically checks eye images from premature babies for a serious condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which can cause blindness. Researchers used over 1,200 babies' eye photos from multiple hospitals to see…

This study tested a new imaging device called OCT angiography (OCTA) that takes 3D pictures of blood vessels in the back of the eye without needing dye injections. Researchers compared OCTA images to standard dye-based imaging in 88 people with retinal blood vessel problems or no…

This trial tests whether playing different types of music during retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) eye exams can reduce pain and improve comfort in premature infants. ROP exams are necessary but can be painful and stressful for babies. Researchers will compare pain and comfort sco…

This study tested whether playing slow tempo music before and during an eye injection (intravitreal injection) can reduce anxiety and pain. 144 adults took part, with half listening to music and the other half receiving standard care. Researchers measured anxiety using saliva tes…

This study tests a microscope that has an OCT scanner built directly into it, allowing surgeons to take detailed cross-sectional images of the eye during surgery. The goal is to see if this setup is practical and whether the extra visual information helps guide surgical decisions…

This study is looking at thousands of premature and low-birth-weight babies in China to understand how common retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is today. ROP is an eye condition that can lead to blindness if not caught early. The researchers want to find out the best time and crit…

This trial tests a new device called P200TxE that takes detailed images of the back of the eye. Researchers want to see how well it captures images in people with retinal diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration. The study involves adults aged 22 and older who have been dia…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors detect retinal diseases from ultra-widefield eye images. 462 images were read by four eye doctors with different experience levels, both with and without AI assistance. The goal was to see if AI improves accu…

This study tested dexamethasone eye drops in 11 premature infants at risk of blindness from retinopathy of prematurity. Researchers measured how the drug enters the blood and saliva, and monitored for side effects. The goal was to gather safety and dosing information, not to prov…

This study explored whether the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in premature babies' bodies is linked to a serious eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Researchers measured omega-3 levels in 62 premature newborns born before 29 weeks. The goal was to see if lower …

This completed study looked at over 7,000 premature infants to understand which babies develop a serious eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and need treatment. Researchers used a cloud-based database to compare risk factors and outcomes. The goal was to improve…

This study looked at 175 premature babies to see if high iron levels in their blood during the first month of life are linked to a serious eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Researchers measured iron-related markers and tracked which babies developed ROP. The …

This study followed about 100 babies who were treated for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with either Eylea injections or laser therapy in an earlier trial. Researchers checked their vision and eye health years later to see how well the treatments held up. The goal is to underst…
