Hydrogel glue for eye surface repair surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a new hydrogel glue that may replace stitches during eye surface repair surgery. It could help your eye heal faster and more comfortably after procedures like pterygium removal or corneal repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have an eye surface condition (like pterygium, corneal ulcer, or eye burn) that needs surgery with tissue attachment.
- You do not have severe heart, liver, kidney disease, or cancer.
- You are not allergic to the hydrogel ingredients or the medications used during and after surgery.
- You do not have an active infection (like hepatitis B or C) or poorly controlled diabetes.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.

This trial tests if using special cells from your own urine can help repair the inner layer of your cornea (the clear front part of your eye). It may be an option if you have damage to these cells and have already had at least one cornea transplant.
This study tests a new hydrogel glue that helps heal a damaged cornea (the clear front part of the eye) without needing stitches. It may help people with certain corneal defects from injury or after surgery.
This trial tests a special gel used during eye surgery to help repair severe eye injuries and retinal detachment. It may improve surgical outcomes for people with very serious eye trauma.
This Phase 2 trial tests a locally delivered cell-based treatment (allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells) to help heal long-lasting damage to the eye’s clear surface (the cornea). It may help if your cornea epithelium (surface layer) won’t improve even after standard non-surgical treatments.
This study tests a gel placed into the tear drain to treat dry eye in people who are also getting cataract surgery. You may be able to join if you have dry eye and are having cataract surgery.
This study tests whether a special substance from stem cells (called secretome) can help heal chronic surface problems on the eye that haven't gotten better with standard treatments. It's for people with a stubborn scratch or defect on the cornea that has lasted more than 14 days.
