Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess visual quality of patients with non-penetrating, non-metallic, stable corneal foreign bodies. Visual quality will be assessed by examining visual acuity, wavefront analysis and contrast sensitivity. Drawings, photographs, and confocal microscopy will be used to document clinical examination of the cornea at baseline and on follow-up examinations.

Inclusion criteria

  • Access to medical care at Walter Reed Army Medical Center
  • Age 18 years or older
  • Corneal foreign bodies from blast injuries
  • Available for evaluation at Walter Reed

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Residual, recurrent or active ocular disease in the designated eye as determined by exam and history.
  • Penetrating ocular trauma or injury to the posterior segment
  • Prior history of ocular surgery
  • Any physical or mental impairment that would preclude participation in any of the examinations.
  • Any ocular abnormality other than corneal foreign bodies that have any impact on vision (i.e. other abnormalities from trauma such as retinal detachment, corneal laceration, traumatic cataract, or abnormalities unrelated to trauma such as herpes.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
