Sponsor:	Walter Reed Army Medical Center
Information provided by:	Walter Reed Army Medical Center
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00414219

Purpose

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.
