Eye disease progression under the microscope: 3-Year study launched
NCT ID NCT05300724
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study follows 400 people with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) for about 3 years. Researchers watch how the disease advances to more severe stages and test if measuring the loss of light-sensing cells in the eye can be a useful way to track the disease. No treatment is given; the goal is simply to learn more about how AMD progresses.
