Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Keratoconus | Other: Comparison of fluorescein patterns | Not Applicable |
Subject population: keratoconus patients who have not undergone corneal surgery 100 subjects who come to UIHC for their contact lens care. We will approach them at their visit. We will not call potential participants from a database.
If topography is impossible to capture. Concommitant Corneal Disease Minors will be excluded
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 0 participants |
Intervention Model: | Single Group Assignment |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
Primary Purpose: | Supportive Care |
Official Title: | Objective and Subjective Correlation Between Clinical Fluoroscein Patterns and Theoretical Patterns Using the Medmont Corneal Topographer |
Study Start Date : | November 2007 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | December 2010 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: 1 |
Other: Comparison of fluorescein patterns
Compare conventional contact lens fitting to fitting contact lenses based on corneal topography measurement
|
- There will be no inter-patient comparison. Bearing and elevation fluorescein patterns will be compared between the actual (photo) and theoretical (computer generated) fluorescein patterns. [ Time Frame: 1 year after last subject is enrolled ]
- Improved comfort [ Time Frame: one day ]
