Active clinical trials for "Keratoconus"

This study will determine the efficacy of collagen cross linking for progressive keratoconus and ectasia after lasik. It will try and determine which is a more effective treatment: collagen cross linking alone or collagen cross linking combined with Intacs, a treatment which has already been proven to be effective in decreasing corneal curvature in patients with keratoconus.

Aim of work: To detect abnormal corneal thinning in keratoconus using pachymetry maps measured by high-speed anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT). To evaluate the visualization and depth of the demarcation line with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL). To compare the depth of demarcation line between epithelial-on (Epi-on) and epithelial-off (Epi-off) corneal collagen cross-linking.

A monocentric, parallel-arm, prospective, randomized therapeutic trial that compares the efficacy of two curative keratoconus treatment techniques by cross-linking collagen (accelerated conventional technique or iontophoresis). The primary endpoint will be the depth of the demarcation line measured by confocal microscopy and OCT at 1 month. This line represents the limit depth between treated and untreated stroma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and postoperative ocular discomfort by individually customized Photorefractive intrastromal crosslinking (PiXL) without epithelium debridement in high oxygen environment (Epi-on) for progressive Keratoconus.

Transplantation of cellularized human cornea impregnated and populated by mesenchymal stem cells derived from the patient's adipose tissue. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of transplantation of a single dose of autologous mesenchymal adipose tissue derived adult stem cells (ADAS) cellularized into laminas for subjects with corneal defects. 3 groups will be included in the study: (1) transplantation of ADAS alone without scaffold, (2) transplantation of scaffold (human corneal decellularized lamina) without ADAS, and (3) transplantation of ADAS cellularized on scaffold (the human corneal decellularized lamina)

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of corneal collagen cross-linking at irradiance levels of 9 and 18 mW/cm2.

To report on 4-year postoperative safety, efficacy, stability and predictability outcomes(to evaluate the visual, refractive, contrast sensitivity, defocus curve and aberrometric data preoperation, and compare with a similar postoperative outcomes) with the Toric Implantable Contact Lens (TICL) for Stable keratoconus. Investigators will study the four-year follow-up from this standardized, multi-center clinical investigation, support from clinical and optical viewpoints TICL implantation, in stable keratoconus.

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety of and efficacy of the KXL system with vibeX Rapid (Riboflavin Ophthalmic Solution) for Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking in eyes having: Keratoconus (KC) , Post LASIK ectasia (PLEc)

the purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of a new method of corneal cross-linking that uses UV-A irradiation intensity of 9mW/cm2 for 7 minutes to well-known Accelerated corneal cross-linking (9 mW/cm2 UV-A irradiation for 10 minutes)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of collagen cross linking (CXL) in reducing progression of mild and moderate progressive keratoconus.
