Corneal crosslinking to improve near vision in adults
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment to improve near vision in people with presbyopia (age-related difficulty focusing on close objects). It uses a type of crosslinking to strengthen the cornea and may help you see up close without needing reading glasses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 65 years old.
- You have a healthy cornea (the clear front part of your eye).
- Your glasses or contact lens prescription is between +4.0 and -5.0 (your eye's focusing power).
- You either still have your natural lens, or you had cataract surgery at least 6 months ago.
- Your vision can be corrected to normal with a very small adjustment (within 0.25 units).
- You do not have significant astigmatism (blurred vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea).

This study tests a new light-based treatment for presbyopia (age-related trouble focusing on close objects) and near vision correction. It may help reduce the need for reading glasses by reshaping the cornea, the clear front part of the eye.
This trial tests a new treatment called the VIS Opti-K™ System to help people with presbyopia (age-related trouble seeing up close) see better without glasses. It uses a special lens to improve near vision in one eye while keeping distance vision clear.
This trial tests a device that may help people who need reading glasses to see nearby objects more clearly without them. It could be an option if you have good distance vision but need help with close-up tasks like reading.
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 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.
This trial uses a special laser to adjust the light patterns in your eye after cataract surgery with a monofocal lens. It may help improve your near vision or reduce your prescription, so you may not need reading glasses or a strong glasses prescription.
