Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to collect data on patients seen at University of Maryland after undergoing cancer therapy. Previous medications, ocular history, medical history, clinical evaluations, surgical procedures and outcomes will be gathered on the patients who consent to participate. Potential subjects will be enrolled from the clinical practice of the investigator at the time of their eye examination visit. A standard of care exam will be performed pertinent to the reason for the visit. In addition to the standard of care exam, certain biological specimens (ocular surface wash, mucocellular material, corneal filaments, impression cytology, and/or blood) will be collected, stored, and analyzed to obtain immunologic, cellular, or molecular mechanistic insights into disease pathogenesis.
