Digital Imaging Assessment of Ocular Prosthesis Motility
United Kingdom57 participantsStarted 2019-01-30
Plain-language summary
This study will evaluate the degree of translational movement loss from orbital implant to ocular prosthesis. This will be measured using two software applications - Image J as well as the mediGrid smartphone app in measuring prosthesis motility by comparing it to the ruler as a "gold" standard.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adults with surgery to remove one eye
* Able to give consent and understand the study
* Able to cooperate by following instructions (keeping head still, perform gaze movements)
* Enucleation was performed with the integrated implant technique (recti muscles sutured directly to the scleral cap or the mesh around the implant in a location corresponding to muscle insertion.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Radiotherapy to socket
* Chemotherapy
* Implant exposure repair
* Secondary orbital implant
* Concurrent socket pathology:
* Socket infection
* Socket exposure
* Giant papillary conjunctivitis
* Presence of ocular motility disorders on either side of the face, such as nystagmus, known muscle restrictive disorders (thyroid eye disease, previous trauma, idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease) and neurological disorders (cranial neuropathies, multiple sclerosis).
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
