Lacripep Eye Drops for Faster Healing After PRK
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 21 years old or older.
- You are an active-duty U.S. military member or a dependent eligible for care at Alexander T. Augusta Military Medical Center for the next 6 months after surgery.

- You have chosen to have PRK laser eye surgery on both eyes.
- You do not have severe dry eye, other active eye diseases, or a history of eye surgery, and you are not taking medications that could slow healing.
- Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant cannot take part.

This study tests whether using eye drops with dexpanthenol and hyaluronic acid after laser eye surgery helps the surface of the eye heal faster. It may reduce discomfort and improve recovery.
This study tests whether insulin eye drops help the outer layer of the eye heal faster after PRK laser surgery. If you are having PRK for nearsightedness or astigmatism, you might benefit from faster recovery.
This trial tests whether a new eye drop called Lacripep can help treat neurotrophic keratitis, a rare eye condition where the cornea loses sensation and can become damaged. The study compares Lacripep to a placebo (inactive) drop to see if it improves corneal healing and vision.
This study tests an eyedrop that may help with eye pain after PRK, a laser surgery that corrects vision. The goal is to see if this drop helps reduce pain after the procedure.
This study compares two methods for preparing the eye for laser vision correction (PRK): using a laser versus manual scraping to remove the thin outer layer of the cornea. The goal is to see which method gives better results and fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of bandage contact lenses used after PRK laser eye surgery: one that releases a pain-relieving medicine (ketorolac) and one without medicine. The goal is to see if the medicated lens reduces pain better after surgery.
