Understanding eye infections through DNA testing
Part of Eyes & vision, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at eye infections by testing leftover fluid or tissue samples to find all possible germs, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi. It may help doctors better understand what causes different eye infections and improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with an eye infection like pink eye, keratitis, uveitis, or endophthalmitis.
- You have had a sample (like tears, fluid, or tissue) collected for testing already, or you agree to give a sample for this study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks for germs causing eye inflammation (uveitis) that may be due to an infection. It could help identify the best treatment for your condition.
This study looks at how doctors collect and test eye infection samples to get more accurate results, especially in serious cases like corneal abscess or deep eye infection. If you have signs of a complex eye infection and a sample is needed, this trial may help improve the way diagnosis is done for patients like you.
This trial uses a new genetic test to find the cause of eye inflammation when standard tests haven't. The goal is to see if this approach can identify hidden infections and help doctors choose the right treatment to protect your vision.
This study compares the tiny living organisms (“ocular microbiome,” meaning eye-surface bacteria) in different eye conditions. It may help researchers understand how these eye bacteria relate to diseases and why some people develop problems with vision.
This study tests a new, non-invasive (no needles or surgery) way to diagnose a type of eye infection called microbial keratitis. It may help find the cause faster so you get the right treatment sooner.
This trial studies endophthalmitis, an infection inside the eye, using a genetic test to better understand what’s causing it. It may help doctors learn more about the infection and guide treatment decisions in the future.
