Cornea strengthening study for keratoconus using collagen cross-linking
This trial studies collagen cross-linking, a procedure meant to strengthen a weakened cornea in people with keratoconus. It may help slow the bulging/weakening of the cornea and improve vision, and the study also uses special imaging to check changes over time.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT03504800Recruiting
Using OCT scans to diagnose irregular corneas
This study tests whether a special eye scan called OCT can better identify causes of irregular cornea shape. Results may help doctors sort out different cornea problems so treatment choices, like certain procedures, can be more targeted.
Portland, OregonAges 14–85 - NCT03918408RecruitingPhase 1
Platinum eye drops and light to slow keratoconus
This Phase 1 study tests whether a specific corneal cross-linking system (called PXL-Platinum 330) is safe and effective for people with progressive keratoconus, a condition that makes the cornea thin and bulge. The goal is to slow vision changes and see how well the treatment works in the short term.

Check how well wide-view scans guide scleral lens fitting
This study tests whether a special wide-area eye scan (OCT) can help fit scleral contact lenses more accurately. It may help people who need scleral lenses because of certain cornea shape problems or after past eye surgeries.

What taking part in a keratoconus study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there keratoconus clinical trials in Oregon?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 4 recruiting keratoconus studies with a site in Oregon, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a keratoconus study in Oregon?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Oregon to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Oregon, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a keratoconus trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New keratoconus studies open in Oregon regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
