Check how an eye probe measures tissue softness
Part of Eyes & vision, Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a special eye/skin/gum imaging test to measure how tissues behave. It may help researchers improve noninvasive ways to understand eye and tissue health, and in some parts of the study, mild keratoconus.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old (or 18 to 40 if you’re in the keratoconus group)
- You must be in a group that fits your body area: healthy eyes, healthy skin, healthy gums, or mild/moderate keratoconus
- If you’re joining the healthy eye group: no history of eye disease, and no prior eye surgeries
- Avoid if you have diabetes or a family history of glaucoma, or if you’re allergic to numbing eye drops (especially proparacaine)
- For the skin and gum groups: no open cuts/sores, infections, or contagious conditions where they’ll test
- For the keratoconus group: your “K-max” measurement must be 60 or lower (on Pentacam), and you must have mild/moderate keratoconus

This study tests whether a special “Brillouin” microscope scan can spot corneal ectasia and related cornea conditions. It may help doctors diagnose problems earlier and better sort out who needs closer eye care.
This study uses a special, noninvasive microscope technique to study how your cornea tissue behaves. It may help doctors better understand keratoconus and corneal changes after common eye procedures.
This study uses a special eye scan to look at the top layer of the cornea (the clear front of the eye) to help detect early signs of keratoconus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges. It could help with early diagnosis and better treatment decisions.
This study tests whether a special eye scan called OCT can better identify causes of irregular cornea shape. Results may help doctors sort out different cornea problems so treatment choices, like certain procedures, can be more targeted.
This study uses eye imaging to help predict and understand inflammatory skin diseases like psoriasis, eczema, and hives. It may help doctors find better ways to diagnose or treat these conditions.
This study follows people with or at risk for keratoonus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges. It aims to improve early detection and understand how the disease progresses.
