Study of corneal surgery for keratoconus
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at the results of a surgical procedure called CTAK (Corneal Tissue Addition Keratoplasty) for people with keratoconus or similar corneal thinning conditions. The goal is to see how safe and effective this surgery is for improving vision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with keratoconus or a similar condition that makes the cornea bulge and thin.
- Your cornea is not too thin for this surgery.
- You do not have significant scarring on the cornea.

This study looks at how people with keratoconus decide to take part in clinical research. It's for people who haven't had any treatment for keratoconus yet, and it may help improve future research studies for this condition.
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 looks at people with corneal disease, especially corneal thinning that can change how the eye focuses light. It may help researchers understand treatments and care plans for these conditions.
This study follows people with or at risk for keratoonus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges. It aims to improve early detection and understand how the disease progresses.
This trial uses special eye imaging to measure how your cornea (the eye’s clear front surface) changes, and then builds a personalized model for you. It may help doctors plan safer, more tailored treatment for keratoconus—especially if you’re considering LASIK.
This study tests whether a special eye scan called OCT can better identify causes of irregular cornea shape. Results may help doctors sort out different cornea problems so treatment choices, like certain procedures, can be more targeted.
