Iris hole size effect after cornea transplant
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares how the size of a small hole made in your iris affects vision and eye pressure after a corneal transplant (DMEK). It may help doctors choose the best size hole to reduce side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You are having a specific type of corneal transplant called DMEK at University Hospital Leipzig.
- Your doctor plans to make a small hole in your iris (the colored part of your eye) using laser or surgery during your treatment.
- You can understand and agree to join the study by signing a consent form.
- You are willing to fill out a questionnaire after surgery about unusual visual sensations.

This trial checks how well you see in low light and low contrast after having cataract surgery with specific lens implants. It helps doctors understand which lenses work best in dim conditions.
This trial tests a type of corneal transplant (DMEK) in people who have had previous eye surgeries, such as vitrectomy or glaucoma surgery. It aims to see if the transplant works well even in these complicated cases.
This trial tests a special intraocular lens that works with a cornea transplant procedure (DMEK) for people who have both cataracts and Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy. It aims to see if this lens improves vision and reduces the need for glasses.
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 tests a new, less-invasive surgery for macular holes. The surgeon uses a tiny gel to help close the hole without removing as much gel-like fluid from your eye as usual. It may help your vision recover with less risk.
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.
