Eye imaging study for keratoconus and high nearsightedness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study uses a special camera (Schiempflug imaging) to measure the front part of the eye in people with keratoconus or high nearsightedness with astigmatism. It aims to understand how these conditions affect the cornea and help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have keratoconus (a condition that makes your cornea thin and cone-shaped) or high nearsightedness with astigmatism.
- You have a clear cornea with no prior surgery or contact lens wear.
- You do not have other eye diseases like corneal scarring or dystrophy.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special eye scan (anterior segment OCT) to map the cornea's surface and help detect keratoconus at an early stage. It aims to improve diagnosis for people with suspicious or mild signs of the condition.
This trial uses special eye imaging to measure how your cornea (the eye’s clear front surface) changes, and then builds a personalized model for you. It may help doctors plan safer, more tailored treatment for keratoconus—especially if you’re considering LASIK.
This study looks at how common certain eye conditions are in children and teens who are visiting a clinic for a reason unrelated to eye problems. It may help doctors understand how often these issues occur and plan better screening and care.
This study tests whether a special eye scan called OCT can better identify causes of irregular cornea shape. Results may help doctors sort out different cornea problems so treatment choices, like certain procedures, can be more targeted.
This study tests whether using advanced imaging can help make scleral contact lenses fit better for people with certain eye conditions. If you have keratoconus, an irregular cornea after a transplant, or severe dry eye and have struggled with other lens types, this may be for you.
This study tests a new type of contact lens designed to help people see clearly at all distances. You qualify if you have either presbyopia (difficulty focusing up close as you age) or keratoconus (a cornea shape irregularity), but not both.
