About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Keratoconus

Eligibility Criteria

14 Years - 100 Years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. 14 years of age or older
  2. Presence of central or inferior steepening on the Pentacam map
  3. Axial topography consistent with keratoconus
  4. I-S ratio > 1.5 on the Pentacam map or topography map
  5. BSCVA worse than 20/20 (<53 letters on ETDRS chart)
  6. Contact Lens Wearers Only: Removal of contact lenses for the required period of time prior to the screening refraction
  7. Signed written informed consent
  8. Willingness and ability to comply with schedule for follow-up visits

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Eyes classified as either normal or atypical normal on the keratoconus severity grading scheme.
  2. A history of previous corneal surgery or the insertion of Intacs in the eye(s) to be treated.
  3. Corneal pachymetry <400 microns at diameter to be treated.
  4. Previous ocular condition (other than refractive error) in the eye(s) to be treated that may predispose the eye for future complications, for example:

    1. History of corneal disease (e.g., herpes simplex, herpes zoster keratitis, recurrent erosion syndrome, corneal melt, corneal dystrophy, etc.)
    2. Clinically significant corneal scarring in the treatment zone that is not related to keratoconus or, in the investigator's opinion, will interfere with the treatment.
  5. A history of chemical injury or delayed epithelial healing in the eye(s) to be treated.
  6. Diagnosed with autoimmune disease, systemic connective tissue diseases or atopic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, or taking systemic medications likely to affect wound healing.
  7. Women who are pregnant or nursing or who plan to become pregnant over the course of their participation in this investigation.
