Insulin eye drops for faster healing after PRK
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special insulin eye drop can help heal the clear front part of your eye (cornea) faster after PRK laser vision correction. If you are having PRK for nearsightedness or astigmatism and have no other eye problems or conditions like diabetes, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need nearsightedness (myopia) or astigmatism that can be corrected with PRK laser surgery.
- You cannot have diabetes.
- You cannot have had any eye surgery before.
- Your eyes must be healthy – no dry eye, no history of herpes infection in the eye, and no past eye injury.
- You cannot be taking oral corticosteroids (steroid pills) right now.
