-
Visual function and emotional well-being before and after congenital ptosis surgery
This project will try to see if combining levator resection with fascial sheath suspension improves vision and quality of life over six months for people aged 3–60 having surgery for congenital ptosis.
-
Does intraoperative kappa-angle compensation improve vision after SMILE for small kappa offsets?
This trial tests whether compensating for the kappa-angle during SMILE surgery improves postoperative vision and optical quality for adults with mild myopia.
-
Low vs high kappa-angle compensation during SMILE with VisuMax 800
This trial tests whether using a low (50%) or high (100%) kappa-angle compensation during SMILE surgery with the VisuMax 800 produces better postoperative vision for adults with myopia and large kappa offsets.
-
LBV vs traditional monovision LASIK for presbyopia
In adults 40–55 with presbyopia, this study tests whether laser blended vision (LBV) provides better vision at distance, intermediate, and near after LASIK than traditional monovision LASIK.
-
Anrikefon versus nalbuphine for pain control after eye surgery
This trial will test whether Anrikefon provides pain relief as well as nalbuphine for adults having eye surgery under general anesthesia.
-
ZVS106e subretinal injection for Stargardt disease from two ABCA4 mutations
This treatment will try a single subretinal injection of ZVS106e in one eye to see if it's safe and may help people aged 8 and older with Stargardt disease caused by two ABCA4 mutations.
-
Adding 5‑Fluorouracil to endoscopic DCR for blocked tear ducts with a small lacrimal sac
This trial will test whether using 5‑fluorouracil during endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy helps adults with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction and a small lacrimal sac have better outcomes.
-
Using a capsular tension ring to keep the lens implant centered in people with retinitis pigmentosa who need cataract surgery
This trial will try adding a capsular tension ring to one eye of adults with retinitis pigmentosa undergoing cataract surgery to see if it keeps the implanted lens more centered and reduces vision problems compared with the other eye.
-

-
Observing changes in the eye's drainage angle after surgery
This study looks at how different eye surgeries can help people with glaucoma by checking the changes in their eye drainage angle after the procedures.
-
