Laser eye surgery with extra strengthening for thin corneas
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a combined laser and corneal strengthening procedure for people with thin or slightly irregular corneas who are not eligible for standard laser eye surgery. The goal is to safely correct vision while reducing the risk of future corneal problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your cornea (the clear front part of your eye) must be thinner than average, but not too thin.
- Your cornea must have a steeper or more irregular shape than normal, or show signs of weakness.
- You must have significant astigmatism (blurred vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea).
- You must not have been diagnosed with keratoconus (a progressive thinning and bulging of the cornea).
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This Phase 2 study tests whether a procedure called PXL‑Platinum 330 can safely and effectively strengthen corneas that are thinning (such as keratoconus or related conditions). It aims to see if the treatment can help stabilize or improve the cornea’s shape while keeping side effects low.
This study tests whether a special “Brillouin” microscope scan can spot corneal ectasia and related cornea conditions. It may help doctors diagnose problems earlier and better sort out who needs closer eye care.
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 Phase 2 study tests how safe and well a corneal cross-linking device (called PXL-Platinum 330) works for people with corneal ectasia (a thinning/steepening of the cornea). If you qualify, the goal is to help stop or slow further worsening of your cornea shape and improve eye stability.
This study tests a procedure called Xenia corneal lenticule in people with severe keratoconus or severe post-LASIK corneal thinning who want to avoid a corneal transplant. It aims to improve vision while checking safety and how well the new procedure works over time.
This study compares two methods for preparing the eye for laser vision correction (PRK): using a laser versus manual scraping to remove the thin outer layer of the cornea. The goal is to see which method gives better results and fewer side effects.
