Comparing two UV light times for corneal crosslinking
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests two different UV light exposure times (18 minutes vs. 24 minutes) during a corneal crosslinking procedure for people with keratoconus or similar corneal thinning conditions. The goal is to see if the shorter time works as well as the longer one.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 8 years old.
- You must have keratoconus, corneal thinning after LASIK or PRK, or other similar corneal conditions.
- You must be willing to follow study instructions and attend follow-up visits.
- Women who can get pregnant must use birth control and not be pregnant or nursing.
- You cannot have had a corneal transplant in the study eye.
- Your cornea must be thick enough (at least 300 microns) at the screening exam.

This study tests a special light treatment for cornea problems in people with Down syndrome. It aims to strengthen the front of the eye and may help prevent vision loss.
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.
This study tests a same-day procedure that strengthens the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) in both eyes using a special light treatment, called cross-linking. It may help slow or stop the progression of keratoconus, a condition where the cornea becomes cone-shaped and causes blurry vision.
This study tests whether treating donor corneal tissue with a special light and vitamin drops (called cross-linking) before a transplant helps improve outcomes for people with keratoconus. If you need a corneal transplant, this could strengthen the donor tissue and potentially reduce the need for future procedures.
This trial tests a new combined treatment for keratoconus that includes both a surface laser (phototherapeutic keratectomy) and corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL). It may help strengthen your cornea and improve vision.
This study tests a procedure called corneal crosslinking to slow or stop the progression of keratoconus or corneal ectasia. It might help keep your cornea stable and prevent further vision loss.
