Rigid contact lenses for keratoconus
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests how well rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses work for people with keratoconus, a condition where the cornea becomes cone-shaped. It looks at eye health and vision quality.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with keratoconus
- Best vision with glasses is 20/20 or better
- Age between 18 and 40 years
- Not currently wearing rigid gas permeable contact lenses
- No other eye surface diseases like dry eye or allergies

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special contact lens that uses a tiny opening to improve vision for people with presbyopia (age-related reading blur) or with keratoconus (a cone-shaped cornea). The lens aims to make both near and distant objects clearer without surgery.
This study tests an eye drop called GLK-221 for people with keratoconus, a condition where the clear front of the eye bulges. The goal is to see if the drops can safely help improve the condition compared to a placebo (an inactive solution).
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 trial tests a new eyedrop (TN-001) for people with keratoconus that is getting worse. The drops are applied twice a day to try to stop the cornea from thinning and bulging further.
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 trial tests two different laser-based procedures to treat keratoconus, a condition that weakens and bulges the cornea. The goal is to see which approach better strengthens the eye and improves vision.
