Eye Pressure Changes After Corneal Strengthening Treatment
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study measures how eye pressure changes after corneal cross-linking, a procedure that strengthens a weakened cornea. Researchers will use special imaging to track these changes in patients with early-stage keratoconus (a condition where the cornea thins and bulges).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 19 and 35 years old
- Diagnosed with mild keratoconus (cornea is thinning and bulging slightly)
- Cornea thickness of at least 400 micrometers (µm) at its thinnest point
- No scarring on the cornea
- No previous serious corneal infections
- No history of uveitis (eye inflammation) or ocular allergies, and no pre-existing glaucoma (high eye pressure condition)

This study measures how eye pressure changes after laser surgery to correct nearsightedness. Researchers will compare different laser techniques to understand which approach is safest for your eye pressure.
This trial studies collagen cross-linking, a procedure meant to strengthen a weakened cornea in people with keratoconus. It may help slow the bulging/weakening of the cornea and improve vision, and the study also uses special imaging to check changes over time.
This study uses a special, noninvasive microscope technique to study how your cornea tissue behaves. It may help doctors better understand keratoconus and corneal changes after common eye procedures.
This study looks at how donor corneas (for deep lamellar corneal transplant in keratoconus) are prepared using corneal collagen cross-linking, to see if it improves outcomes for people with keratoconus. You may be eligible if you meet vision and cornea shape/thickness requirements and can return for long follow-up.
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 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.
