Novel Diagnostics With Optical Coherence Tomography: Imaging the Anterior Eye
Fuch's DystrophyCorneal Disorders1 moreThe purpose of this research is to evaluate the optical coherence tomography (OCT), to image diseases of the eye. OCT may be useful for the early diagnosis and monitoring of a variety of diseases involving the eye, such as Fuch's Dystrophy (type of eye disease) and retinal damage (eye diseases in the back of the eye) due to diabetes.
Safety & Efficacy of Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking in Eyes With Keratoconus or Corneal Ectasia...
KeratoconusCorneal EctasiaThe objectives of this study are to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of three treatment regimens for corneal collagen cross-linking performed with VibeX (riboflavin ophthalmic solution) and the KXL System in impeding the progression of, and/or reducing maximum corneal curvature.

Photorefractive Intrastromal Crosslinking (PiXL) for the Treatment of Progressive Keratoconus
KeratoconusCorneal Crosslinking5 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and postoperative ocular discomfort by comparing individually customized Photorefractive intrastromal crosslinking (PiXL) for progressive Keratoconus. The study compares two different protocols, PiXL with corneal epithelium debridement (Epi-off) and PiXL without epithelium debridement in high oxygen environment (Epi-on), with the hypothesis that Epi-on gives less postoperative ocular discomfort.

GlaucomaPrimary Open AngleThe objective of this study was to investigate the improving effect of corneal disorder in primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension patients, when switched from the 0.005% latanoprost ophthalmic solution (one drop at a time, once daily) to the 0.0015% tafluprost ophthalmic solution (one drop at a time, once daily). Efficacy also was investigated.

Corneal DiseasesRecurrenceThis is a compassionate-use treatment study to provide Dehydrex to patients with corneal erosion syndrome who have previously used Dehydrex.
Autologous Adipose-Derived Adult Stem Cell Implantation for Corneal Diseases (ADASCs-CT-CD)
Ophthalmological DisorderCorneal Dystrophy3 moreCellular therapy of the corneal stroma with implantation of mesenchymal stem cells derived from autologous adipose tissue with or without a carrier (scaffold) composed by decellularized human donor corneal stroma is used in patients with corneal diseases such as corneal dystrophies, and keratoconus. For this purpose, the study planned to assess the enhancement of visual acuity, pachymetric, and aberrometric parameters with implantation of autologous mesenchymal adipose tissue-derived adult stem cells (ADASCs) alone, 120 µm thickness of decellularized or recellularized laminas with ADASCs. Three groups will be included in the study: (1) Implantation of a single dose of ADASCs alone without scaffold. (2) Implantation of decellularized human corneal lamina without ADASCs. (3) Implantation of the recellularized human corneal lamina with ADASCs.
