Comparing two treatments for corneal basement membrane disease
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares two eye procedures—manual scraping and laser surgery—for patients with a condition that causes repeated eye surface injuries and blurry vision. It aims to see which treatment works better for both eyes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can understand the study and agree to take part.
- You can come for check-ups for at least 1 year after surgery.
- You have a condition called basement membrane dystrophy in both eyes that causes symptoms like eye pain from scratchy eyes or blurry vision.
- You are planning to have surgery on both eyes for this condition.

This trial tests two different laser-based procedures to treat keratoconus, a condition that weakens and bulges the cornea. The goal is to see which approach better strengthens the eye and improves vision.
This Phase 2 trial tests a locally delivered cell-based treatment (allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells) to help heal long-lasting damage to the eye’s clear surface (the cornea). It may help if your cornea epithelium (surface layer) won’t improve even after standard non-surgical treatments.
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.
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.
This trial tests a special intraocular lens that works with a cornea transplant procedure (DMEK) for people who have both cataracts and Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy. It aims to see if this lens improves vision and reduces the need for glasses.
This study looks at a specific type of cornea transplant (called endothelial lamellar transplant) for people with Fuchs disease or other causes of corneal swelling that affect vision. It aims to see whether this surgical approach improves outcomes and quality of life after surgery.
