Active clinical trials for "Keratitis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficiency of CACICOL20 for bacterial keratitis. It is a double blinded comparison of epithelial defect in two groups of patients randomized between CACICOL20 and physiological salt solution.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of autologous serum 20% and autologous serum 50% for the treatment of Severe Dry Eye Syndrome

The proposed 3-month study is a prospective, open-label, multicentre, phase IV, proof of concept study. The study is designed to assess the effect on the quality of vision of IKERVIS® (1mg/mL ciclosporin) eye drops administered once daily in dry eye disease (DED) patients with severe keratitis, as well as its safety and efficacy.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if patients randomized to corneal collagen cross-linking plus medical therapy will have a lower prevalence of positive bacterial or fungal cultures immediately after the procedure than patients who received medical therapy alone. The secondary purpose of this study is to determine if patients randomized to corneal collagen cross-linking will have a better visual acuity at 3 and 12 months than patients who receive medical therapy alone.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the concurrent treatment of 5% Natamycin and 1% Voriconazole in patients affected by fungal keratitis METHODS AND MATERIALS STUDY POPULATION Patients with smear and or culture proven fungal keratitis presenting to our Instituts, were eligible for enrollment. STUDY DESIGN Prospective double masked randomized clinical trial.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of accelerated cross-linking (Avedro Inc., Waltham, USA) in the management of microbial keratitis as adjunctive therapy.

To evaluate the efficacy of topical corticosteroids in treating herpes simplex stromal keratitis in conjunction with topical trifluridine. To evaluate the efficacy of oral acyclovir in treating herpes simplex stromal keratitis in patients receiving concomitant topical corticosteroids and trifluridine. To evaluate the efficacy of oral acyclovir in treating herpes simplex iridocyclitis in conjunction with treatment with topical corticosteroids and trifluridine.

Microbial keratitis is an infection of the cornea that is associated with risk of permanent visual impairment. It can be caused by bacteria, virus, fungus, protozoa and parasites. The common risk factors for infectious keratitis include ocular trauma, contact lens wear, recent ocular surgery, preexisting ocular surface disease, dry eyes, lid deformity, corneal sensation impairment, chronic use of topical steroids and systemic immunosuppression .

Tyrosine hydroxylase autoantibodies impair sympathetic innervation leading to keratitis. In this study, the investigators have shown the significant association between severity of keratitis and presence of tyrosine hydroxylase autoantibodies.

The purpose of the study is to learn if adding femtosecond laser-assisted corneal debridement to a standard therapy of oral ganciclovir can help shorten the healing time of herpes simplex epithelial keratitis (HSK).
