Corneal implant for swelling of the cornea
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a new corneal implant to treat corneal swelling caused by Fuchs' dystrophy or after cataract surgery. It aims to improve vision and reduce the need for a full corneal transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years or older
- You have corneal swelling due to Fuchs' dystrophy or after cataract surgery
- You have had cataract surgery with a lens implant in the eye being treated
- Your vision in the treated eye is between counting fingers and about 6/12 (moderately blurred)
- Your cornea is thicker than 0.6 mm (measured by a special scan)
- You have not had other eye surgeries besides routine cataract surgery

This trial tests a new treatment for people with corneal swelling that needs surgery. It helps replace the inner layer of the cornea to improve vision.
This trial studies a treatment for people with Fuchs’ dystrophy that affects the clear layer at the back of the cornea. It may help improve how clear your vision is after the cornea can no longer pump fluid out properly.
This trial tests a new treatment, EO2002, for people with corneal swelling that causes vision loss. It aims to offer an alternative to corneal transplant for those with conditions like Fuchs dystrophy or swelling after cataract surgery.
This trial tests an artificial inner corneal layer (EndoArt) for people with long-term corneal swelling who've had multiple failed corneal transplants and cannot have another. It aims to improve vision and reduce discomfort.
This Phase 3 trial compares outcomes from two cornea transplant procedures in people with FECD, a disease that makes the cornea swell and affect vision. It may help you and others by identifying which approach best supports clear vision and stable corneal thickness after surgery.
This study looks at a specific type of cornea transplant (called endothelial lamellar transplant) for people with Fuchs disease or other causes of corneal swelling that affect vision. It aims to see whether this surgical approach improves outcomes and quality of life after surgery.
