This study planned to compare intense regulated pulsed light (IRPL) therapy with daily warm compresses for people with dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. Researchers aimed to measure symptom scores and tear film stability. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrol…

This study uses a new, child-friendly brain imaging technique called OPM-MEG to understand how immune-related brain diseases (like autoimmune encephalitis and multiple sclerosis) and other brain conditions affect children aged 2 to 25. Standard scans often miss problems with memo…

This study compares a new type of brain scanner (OPM-MEG) to the standard MEG scanner used to plan epilepsy surgery in children. The new scanner uses a lightweight hat instead of a rigid helmet, making it more comfortable and better fitting for kids. Researchers will check if the…

This study aims to figure out the best schedule for follow-up visits for people who wear contact lenses. Researchers will track 300 healthy adults aged 18 to 40 who are new or experienced lens wearers. The goal is to see if fewer visits can still keep eyes safe and comfortable.

This study looks at whether wearing contact lenses with a prescription that is slightly off (within 2 units of the correct power) still provides good vision and fit. About 38 healthy adults who already wear contacts will try two different lenses. The goal is to see if these off-p…

This study is observing 500 people having cataract surgery to see how well different types of artificial lens implants (monofocal, multifocal, and toric) perform. Researchers will measure vision and patient satisfaction 3-6 months after surgery. The goal is to understand what mak…
