Lenticule Implant for Herpes-Related Cloudy Cornea
Part of Eyes & vision, Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your cornea (the clear front of your eye) is cloudy or less clear than normal
- You have low vision in the affected eye
- You have had repeated episodes of herpes-related eye inflammation
- You have not had any eye surgery before
- You do not have any active infection in your eye or body

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 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 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.
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 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 trial tests whether Relex-SMILE eye laser surgery can improve nearsightedness that remains after you’ve already had cataract surgery. It’s meant for people with a certain range of leftover nearsightedness, while excluding certain eye problems and prior eye procedures.
