Validating a new scan for corneal scars and swelling
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 21 years or older.
- You have either a corneal scar (without swelling) or corneal swelling (from Fuchs' dystrophy or another cause).
- You do not have any active eye infection or inflammation.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You can keep your face still for the scan.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial tests a new corneal implant to treat corneal swelling caused by Fuchs' dystrophy or after cataract surgery. It aims to improve vision and reduce the need for a full corneal transplant.
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 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 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 measures how light passes through the clear front part of your eye (cornea) using a specialized camera. These measurements help doctors better understand eye health and may improve future eye care.
