Can a simple questionnaire on eye rubbing help fight a rare eye disease?
NCT ID NCT04517903
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new questionnaire to better understand eye rubbing habits in people with or suspected keratoconus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges. Researchers enrolled 292 participants to see if the questionnaire is reliable and useful. The goal is to improve how doctors track eye rubbing, which is a key factor in the disease's progression.
