Robot-assisted corneal transplant surgery study
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a new robot-assisted surgical technique for doing a full-thickness corneal transplant. The goal is to see if the robot can help make the surgery more precise and safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are covered by a health insurance or social security plan.
- You agree to participate and sign a consent form.
- You do not have any other eye disease besides your corneal problem.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a robotic system to assist eye surgery for certain retina and vitreous conditions, such as bleeding in the eye or a wrinkle on the macula. It aims to see if the robot can safely help improve vision.
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 study looks at how well people do after a specific type of corneal transplant called posterior lamellar keratoplasty. It aims to understand long-term outcomes for patients who had this surgery.
This trial is not testing a new treatment. It collects and organizes information about people in Germany who have had a corneal (front-of-eye) transplant since 2001 to help future care and research.
This study tests an artificial cornea (a small plastic implant) to see if it can safely improve vision in people who are blind from corneal damage and cannot have a regular cornea transplant. It aims to help those with no other good treatment options.
