Eye scan for early detection of keratoconus
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study uses a special eye scan to look at the top layer of the cornea (the clear front of the eye) to help detect early signs of keratoconus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges. It could help with early diagnosis and better treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be willing to give your informed consent (agree to participate).
- You must have no prior eye surgery or injury to the cornea.
- You must not have an active eye infection or inflammation.
- You must not have severe dry eye or other conditions that affect the cornea's surface.
- You must be able to cooperate with eye imaging procedures.

This study follows people with or at risk for keratoonus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges. It aims to improve early detection and understand how the disease progresses.
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 uses a special eye scanner to compare the front part of the eye in people with keratoconus, people with high myopia and astigmatism, and people with normal corneas. It aims to better understand the differences, which may help improve diagnosis and treatment.
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 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.
