Active clinical trials for "Corneal Diseases"

The 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.

The 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.

Prospective, open label, single arm, First in Human (FIH) clinical study to assess safety and efficacy of the CorNeat Keratoprosthesis, a synthetic cornea, for the treatment of corneal blindness

This study will assess changes in visual acuity and corneal symmetry after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) of asymmetric corneas.

The 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.

Treatment of patients with inflammatory-dystrophic diseases of the cornea using autologous limbal stem cells (corneal epithelial stem cells) or adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells

The 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.

This is a compassionate-use treatment study to provide Dehydrex to patients with corneal erosion syndrome who have previously used Dehydrex.

Cellular 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.

This study compares contact lens comfortable wear duration, and signs and symptoms of contact lens discomfort, test versus control.
