Cyclosporine or lifitegrast drops after PRK eye surgery
Part of Eyes & vision, Infections, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two eye drops—cyclosporine and lifitegrast—to see if they help reduce dryness and discomfort after PRK (a type of laser eye surgery). If you are having PRK for nearsightedness (myopia), this trial may help you find relief from post-surgery symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older.

This trial tests whether a special insulin eye drop can help heal the clear front part of your eye (cornea) faster after PRK laser vision correction. If you are having PRK for nearsightedness or astigmatism and have no other eye problems or conditions like diabetes, you may be able to join.
This study is testing a new eye drop called Lacripep to see if it helps heal the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) faster after PRK laser vision correction. It is for active-duty military members and their families who are already planning to have PRK surgery.
