Using OCT scans to diagnose irregular corneas
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need one of these cornea issues: keratoconus, contact-lens warpage, dry eye with specific findings, EBMD, certain corneal scarring/dystrophy, or cornea shape changes after surgeries like LASIK/PRK
- Your eye clinic needs to confirm matching cornea scan patterns (topography) for the study group you fit
- You must be able to sit still and keep your gaze steady for the OCT eye imaging
- You must be willing to attend all required study visits and follow study instructions
- You cannot have pregnancy or be breastfeeding

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 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.
This study tests whether a special “Brillouin” microscope scan can spot corneal ectasia and related cornea conditions. It may help doctors diagnose problems earlier and better sort out who needs closer eye care.
This study uses a special eye scan to look at the top layer of the cornea (the clear front of the eye) to help detect early signs of keratoconus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges. It could help with early diagnosis and better treatment decisions.
This trial uses special eye imaging to measure how your cornea (the eye’s clear front surface) changes, and then builds a personalized model for you. It may help doctors plan safer, more tailored treatment for keratoconus—especially if you’re considering LASIK.
This study follows people with or at risk for keratoonus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges. It aims to improve early detection and understand how the disease progresses.
