Magnetic device for treating eye exposure
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new magnetic device that sticks to your eyelid to help protect the eye when you can't fully close it. It may be an option if you have a recent scratch on your eye and trouble closing your eyelids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a recent scratch on the clear front part of your eye (corneal abrasion) that is not infected.
- You have trouble fully closing your eyelids (lagophthalmos).
- You do not have any allergies to adhesive or tape.
- You have never had metal pieces or shavings embedded in your eye.
- You do not have any current eye infection.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a tiny spring placed in the eyelid to help you close your eye if it stays open due to facial nerve paralysis. It may be an option if your eye has not improved after 6 weeks.
This trial tests a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) to see if it can improve vision in adults with lazy eye. It is a noninvasive approach that does not involve surgery or drugs.
This study tests a special device that uses feedback to temporarily manage blepharoptosis, which means a droopy upper eyelid. It may help improve eyelid position without permanent surgery, but you must be able to follow the study steps.
This trial tests a new magnetic surgical system (called MACS) to see if it is safe and works well during planned surgeries. If you are having a non-emergency surgery and are generally healthy, you may qualify.
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation method, can help restore vision in people with severe high myopia. It is a research treatment that may improve vision by stimulating the brain's visual areas.
This trial tests whether taping your eyelid shut during surgery with a lubricating eye drop does a better job of keeping your cornea (the clear front part of the eye) safe than just taping it closed. It's for people having non-eye surgery under general anesthesia, to see which method prevents eye irritation or damage during the procedure.
