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 tests a new type of antibiotic eye drop for people with serious eye infections that don't respond to standard antibiotics. It aims to see if these drops can safely treat the infection and help improve vision.
This study tests whether an anti-swelling eye drop (fluorometholone) helps people with bacterial eye ulcers heal faster when added to standard antibiotics. It may be an option if you have a bacterial ulcer and have already started antibiotic drops.
This trial tests if an antibiotic injection directly into the cornea can help when standard eye drops are not working for a stubborn bacterial eye infection.
This trial tests an antibiotic medicine placed inside the eye during cataract surgery to lower the risk of a serious eye infection called endophthalmitis. If you need cataract surgery and meet the safety rules, you may be asked to receive this preventive treatment.
This study looks at people who develop an eye infection after an eye injury. It aims to understand what factors increase the risk of this infection.
