AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Any patient with a diagnosis of uveitis, who is deemed active or recently active (6 months) by a uveitis specialist
Exclusion Criteria:
* Poor view in fundus in both eyes which precludes image acquisition in those with posterior uveitis
* Those with posterior uveitis, any allergy to fluorescein
* Corneal opacities which prevent image acquisition
* Inability to sign consent
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.
1This trial is focused on imaging and measuring eye inflammation in real time rather than testing a new treatment — so would participating in it change or delay any actual treatment I'd receive for my uveitis?
2Since this study is listed as 'active, not recruiting,' is there any chance my doctor could still refer me to a similar imaging or quantification study, or is this avenue essentially closed to me right now?
3What does 'real-time quantification of ocular inflammation' actually involve for the patient — are there extra eye scans, dye injections, or procedures beyond what I'd normally have during a uveitis checkup?
4If the goal of this trial is to develop better ways to measure inflammation in the eye, how might the findings eventually change the way my uveitis is monitored or treated in the future, even if I can't enroll now?
5Are there other imaging or monitoring studies currently recruiting that I might be eligible for, or would my doctor recommend focusing entirely on standard treatment options at this point?
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.
