Eye scan guided laser surgery for surface cornea scars
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a laser procedure guided by an eye scan to improve vision caused by surface (front) cornea cloudiness or irregularities. It may help some people whose vision problem is mainly in the outer cornea and can be safely treated without reaching deep tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your vision problems are mainly from surface cornea cloudiness or unevenness
- The problem can likely be removed with laser treatment while keeping at least 250 micrometers of cornea thickness
- You can understand the study and give informed consent
- You can keep your gaze steady during the scan so clear images can be taken
- You can attend all required study visits from start to finish
- You do not have deep cornea scarring, cataracts, retinal disease, glaucoma, or other eye problems that could limit results

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
This trial tests whether a special eye scan (OCT) can help guide eye surgery during the operation. It may improve how surgeons see and target the exact eye structures they need to treat.
This trial tests a combined laser and corneal strengthening procedure for people with thin or slightly irregular corneas who are not eligible for standard laser eye surgery. The goal is to safely correct vision while reducing the risk of future corneal problems.
This study compares two methods for preparing the eye for laser vision correction (PRK): using a laser versus manual scraping to remove the thin outer layer of the cornea. The goal is to see which method gives better results and fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of laser surgery for vision problems (PRK versus another approach called “WFO ablation”) to see which works better for clear sight. You may be a candidate if you meet specific eye measurements and can return for follow-up visits.
