Safety of Terahertz Eye Scan for Blind Eyes
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a new scanning system that uses safe terahertz waves to look at the cornea. It's for people who are blind in one eye but have a healthy cornea, to see if the scan is safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 21 years old or older.
- You need to have at least one eye that is functionally blind (can only see hand motion or less) but has a healthy cornea.
- You must be able to hold your face still enough for the scans.
- You cannot have had major eye surgery on the cornea (like a transplant, LASIK, or cross-linking).
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests a new scanning technology (terahertz) to see if it can detect and measure corneal scars and swelling (edema). If you have one of these conditions, you may help validate a faster, non-invasive way to monitor your eye health.
This trial uses a special camera (OCT) to capture detailed images of the eye. It aims to improve eye disease detection. You may join if you have retinal disease, glaucoma, corneal disease, or healthy eyes.
This trial studies whether a new, very high-resolution and high-speed eye scan can be used for people with eye problems or for healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better “see” eye structures more clearly to guide care.
This trial tests whether a special eye scan (OCT) can help guide eye surgery during the operation. It may improve how surgeons see and target the exact eye structures they need to treat.
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 research study tests a new camera technology that takes detailed pictures of the back of your eye (retina) to better understand eye diseases. Researchers want to compare images from people with eye conditions like diabetes-related eye disease, glaucoma, or age-related macular degeneration with healthy volunteers to see how the new imaging works.
