Predicting vision outcomes in eye surface disease
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tracks people with various eye surface diseases to see which factors best predict future eyesight. It may help doctors identify who is at risk for vision loss and tailor treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a diagnosed eye surface disease, like dry eye, scarring, or nerve damage to the cornea.
- You are willing to have detailed eye tests (mapping, thickness, cell imaging, tear analysis) at the start and during follow-up.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no other major eye diseases (like macular degeneration) that could confuse the results.
- You have not had eye surgery in the last 3 months, and do not have active eye inflammation or uncontrolled glaucoma.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at skin growths near the eye using a special camera. It may help doctors better understand and diagnose these growths without needing a biopsy.
This observational study follows patients with limbal stem cell deficiency (a condition affecting cells at the edge of the cornea that help maintain healthy eye surface) to understand how their vision changes over time. Researchers will track your eye health without giving you new treatment.
This trial studies people whose eye surface problems are caused by an inherited (genetic) condition. It aims to better understand how specific genetic changes relate to symptoms, which may guide more personalized 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 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 tests whether special contact lenses called scleral lenses can help people with certain eye problems, such as an irregularly shaped cornea after surgery or injury. The lenses may improve vision and comfort for those with these conditions.
