Could a contact Lens-Like shield soothe scratched eyes?

NCT ID NCT07225699

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a special collagen shield placed on the eye can reduce pain from a scratched cornea (corneal abrasion) in adults visiting the emergency department. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the collagen shield or a fake shield, along with standard pain and antibiotic drops. Researchers will measure pain levels at 4, 24, and 72 hours, as well as how much pain medication is used.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

collagen corneal shield (device)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a simple, non-drug way to ease pain from scratched corneas in the ER.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 people. The sham control may also show benefit, and the device might not reduce pain more than standard care.
