Active clinical trials for "Conjunctivitis"

Epidemiology of Conjunctivitis in the Emergency Department of a Reference Ophthalmological Hospital in Goiânia.

The French guidelines for the use of Rifamycine eye drops in delivery room to prevent neonatal conjunctivitis have been actualized. Only newborns exposed to risk factors of conjunctivitis should be treated, compared to previous guidelines, treating all newborns. currently, there are no data describing risk factors for neonatal conjunctivitis. This study evaluated the incidence of conjunctivitis with or without Rifamycine eye drops treatment in the delivery room. Then risk factors for neonatal conjunctivitis where analyzed.

A Field Study to Observe Symptom Scores and Allergy Medication Usage in Subjects with a History of House Dust Mite-Induced Rhinoconjunctivitis

The study was designed to evaluate the pattern of seasonal allergic signs and symptoms consistent with ongoing ocular allergic inflammation during ragweed season. It was hypothesized that a pattern of ongoing ocular allergic inflammation existed in certain subjects.

This is a search strategy for determining the prevalence of ocular complications in inflammatory rheumatic diseases for the purposes of a meta analysis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the comfort of BEPREVE compared to LASTACAFT after instillation.

The objectives of this study is to assess the characteristics and frequency of adenovirus conjunctivitis in a population of male and female patients from one year of age who present signs and symptoms of acute conjunctivitis.

This screening protocol is designed to facilitate patient recruitment to National Eye Institute (NEI) clinical research studies. Patients must meet specific requirements of a research study; this protocol serves as a first step for admitting patients to an appropriate program. Candidates may have a diagnosed or undiagnosed eye condition. They will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, eye examination and blood test. Other screening procedures may include routine laboratory tests, non-invasive imaging, and questionnaires. The eye examination includes measurement of eye pressure and dilation of the pupils to fully examine the lens, vitreous and retina. Specialized eye tests will be done only if needed to determine eligibility for a specific study. When the screening is completed, patients will be informed of their options to participate in a study. Patients who are found ineligible for a current study will be informed of alternative treatments or options. No treatment is offered under this protocol.

This study offers evaluation and treatment for patients with certain corneal and external diseases of the eye (diseases of the surface of the eye and its surrounding structures). The protocol is not designed to test new treatments; rather, patients will receive current standard of care treatments. The purpose of the study is twofold: 1) to allow National Eye Institute physicians to increase their knowledge of various corneal and external conditions and identify possible new avenues of research in this area; and 2) to establish a pool of patients who may be eligible for new studies as they are developed. (Participants in this protocol will not be required to join a new study; the decision will be voluntary.) Children and adults with corneal or external eye diseases may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history, brief physical examination, thorough eye examination and blood test. The eye examination includes measurements of eye pressure and visual acuity (ability to see the vision chart) and dilation of the pupils to examine the lens and retina (back part of the eye). Patients will also undergo the following procedures: Eye photography - Special photographs of the inside of the eye to help evaluate the status of the cornea and conjunctiva (the most superficial layer of the eye) evaluate changes that may occur in the future. From two to 20 pictures may be taken, depending on the eye condition. The camera flashes a bright light into the eye for each picture. Conjunctival or lacrimal gland biopsy - A small piece of the conjunctiva or the lacrimal (tear) gland, is removed for examination under the microscope. Anesthetic drops and possibly an injection of anesthetic are given to numb the eye. An antibiotic ointment and patch may be placed over the eye for several hours after the procedure. Participants will be followed at least 3 years. Follow-up visits are scheduled according to the standard of care for the individual patient's eye problem. Vision will be checked at each visit, and some of the tests described above may be repeated to follow the progress of disease and evaluate the response to any treatment that is given.

The objectives of this study is to assess the characteristics and frequency of adenovirus conjunctivitis in a population of male and female patients from one year of age who present signs and symptoms of acute conjunctivitis.
