Steri-Strip tape for ectropion surgery on one eye
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether using Steri-Strip tape (a special medical tape) during surgery for a drooping lower eyelid (ectropion) on one eye gives better results. It is for adults who need this specific surgery and do not have certain skin conditions or take a strong acne medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for ectropion surgery on just one eye.
- You do not have conditions that cause very loose skin (like cutis laxa or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome).
- You do not have certain skin diseases such as ichthyosis, scleroderma, or psoriasis that might cause scarring of the eyelid.
- Your ectropion is not caused by paralysis (for example, from Bell's palsy or a stroke).

This study compares two simple methods to protect your eyes during general anesthesia surgery: taping your eyelids shut alone, or taping plus lubricating eye drops. The goal is to prevent corneal (front of the eye) damage that can occur when your eyes dry out under anesthesia.
This study compares using Steri-Strips (a special type of tape) to close the C-section incision versus the standard method. The goal is to see which way helps the wound heal better.
This trial tests a wipe (EPD-09-25) for cleaning eyelids before and after cataract surgery. It's for adults getting cataract surgery who do not have dry eye or meibomian gland disease.
This study tests a new eye drop (oxymetazoline) to see if it can help lift droopy eyelids in adults. To join, you must have a certain amount of eyelid droop and some vision loss in your upper field of view, and you should feel that the droop bothers you enough to want treatment.
This trial looks at how the width of a specific eye muscle affects the amount of surgery needed to correct inward-turning eyes (esotropia). It may help doctors better predict surgical results.
This study compares using sticky strips (like medical tape) versus stitches to close small, simple cuts on the face. It looks at how satisfied patients are with the look of the scar and the overall experience.
