ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the blood vessels in the macula, which is the part of the eye responsible for central vision, in people with high myopia (nearsightedness) who do not have any severe eye problems related to their condition. The researchers are using a special imaging technique called Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) to look closely at these blood vessels. The goal is to better understand how high myopia affects the macular blood flow, which could help improve care for patients with this eye condition.

To participate in this study, you must be an adult with high myopia, meaning your eyesight is quite poor (specifically, a refractive error of -6 or worse). However, if you have any other eye diseases, a history of eye surgery or injury, or specific severe conditions related to myopia, you won’t be eligible. Participants will visit an outpatient clinic, where they will undergo the OCTA imaging. This study is currently recruiting and welcomes individuals of all genders, aged 18 and older. If you're interested, it could be a great opportunity to contribute to important research in eye health!
