Corneal transplant after earlier eye surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of corneal transplant (DMEK) in people who have had previous eye surgeries, such as vitrectomy or glaucoma surgery. It aims to see if the transplant works well even in these complicated cases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a corneal transplant in one or both eyes.
- You have had earlier eye surgeries like vitrectomy, trabeculectomy, or have a large iris defect or scar tissue.
- You have an artificial lens or no lens in the eye that needs surgery.
- You are willing to give consent and are covered by social security.
- You do not have other eye conditions (like uncontrolled glaucoma or retinal disease) that would prevent vision improvement after the transplant.

This study tests special intraocular lenses (lenses placed inside the eye during cataract surgery) that are designed to work well in people who also need cornea transplantation (DMEK procedure). It aims to improve vision and reduce the need for glasses after surgery.
This Phase 1 trial tests a new, lab-made tissue transplant to improve corneal clarity in people with certain types of corneal endothelium failure (eye swelling) caused by specific conditions. The main goal is to check safety and see if vision and corneal health improve.
This study tests how well a patient’s corneal lining cells are preserved before corneal transplantation, and uses that to guide the transplant approach. It may help improve transplant planning and outcomes for people who need treatment for conditions like keratoconus or Fuchs endothelial dystrophy.
This study tests whether adding a special growth factor solution to the fluid used during corneal transplant surgery helps the transplant heal better. It is for patients undergoing a specific type of corneal transplant called DSEK or DMEK.
This Phase 3 trial compares outcomes from two cornea transplant procedures in people with FECD, a disease that makes the cornea swell and affect vision. It may help you and others by identifying which approach best supports clear vision and stable corneal thickness after surgery.
This trial compares two types of cornea transplant surgery (PKP and DSAEK) to see which one helps people with severe corneal swelling see better after two years. It may be an option if you have advanced bullous keratopathy and need a first-time cornea transplant.
