Using a new scan to find early signs of keratoconus
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are either a healthy person with normal corneas, or you have been diagnosed with keratoconus, or your eye doctor suspects you might have early keratoconus.
- You have not had any eye surgery or injury to your cornea.
- You do not have an active eye infection, inflammation, or severe dry eye.
- You can cooperate with the eye scan (sit still and look at a target).

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 follows people with keratoconus—a condition where the cornea (clear front part of the eye) thins and bulges into a cone shape—or early signs of it. Researchers will track corneal changes over time to better understand and detect the disease early.
This study tests whether a special “Brillouin” microscope scan can spot corneal ectasia and related cornea conditions. It may help doctors diagnose problems earlier and better sort out who needs closer eye care.
This study tests whether a special wide-area eye scan (OCT) can help fit scleral contact lenses more accurately. It may help people who need scleral lenses because of certain cornea shape problems or after past eye surgeries.
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 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.
