Tested implant for worsening thin corneas
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether placing a donor-like cornea “lenticule” implant can help people whose cornea is getting worse, becoming thin, and causing blurry or reduced vision. The goal is to see if the implant can improve corneal clarity and vision in progressive disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your cornea disease must be getting worse over time (progressive disease).
- Your cornea must be thin.
- Your cornea transparency must be reduced (harder to see clearly through it).
- You must have low vision (low visual acuity).
- You cannot have an active eye infection or other ongoing problems in the front part of the eye.

This trial tests a new surgical procedure using a small piece of corneal tissue (a lenticule) from a donor to strengthen the cornea in people with progressive keratoconus. The goal is to help stop the disease from getting worse.
This trial tests a new way to treat macular corneal dystrophy using a thin piece of clear cornea (a lenticule) from a donor. Instead of a full transplant, the surgeon uses a laser (RELEX SMILE) to insert this lenticule to improve vision.
This trial implants a small lens-shaped tissue (called a lenticule) into the cornea to help restore its clarity and improve vision in people with vision problems from repeated herpes infections. If you've had ongoing issues with herpes in your eye, this treatment might reduce scarring and help you see better.
This study tests a new laser procedure that creates a tiny pocket inside your cornea (the clear front part of your eye) to help you see up close without glasses. It's for people who have presbyopia (age-related trouble focusing on nearby objects) and are tired of needing reading glasses.
This study tests a treatment to improve vision in people who still have an ongoing focusing problem (residual nearsightedness or farsightedness) about 6 months after receiving a trifocal intraocular lens. It may help if your vision is still reduced despite having the lens implanted.
This study tests a procedure called Xenia corneal lenticule in people with severe keratoconus or severe post-LASIK corneal thinning who want to avoid a corneal transplant. It aims to improve vision while checking safety and how well the new procedure works over time.
