Hydrogel patch for corneal wound repair without stitches
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a new clear gel patch that can be applied to corneal wounds (scars on the front of the eye) without needing stitches. The goal is to see if it helps heal corneal damage from injury or infection and is safe to use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a corneal stromal defect (a scar or wound in the middle layer of your cornea) from trauma or infection removal
- The remaining healthy cornea in the damaged area is at least 300 micrometers thick (about the thickness of 3 human hairs)
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You can give written consent and speak with your doctor about the study
- You do not have active eye infections, severe dry eye, or other serious eye surface problems
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems, or a history of cancer in the past 5 years

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new suture-free (stitch-free) hydrogel—a clear gel that helps heal eye surface wounds after surgery—to see if it works safely and effectively. If you have an eye surface disease like a pterygium (growth on the eye) or corneal ulcer (sore on the cornea) that needs surgery, this trial may help determine if this gel can replace traditional stitches.
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 trial tests whether a special collagen shield placed on the eye helps heal a scratch on the eye's surface (corneal abrasion) better than standard care. If you have a scratch on just one eye and are 18 or older, this study may be an option for you.
This trial tests transplanting your own limbal and corneal stromal stem cells to repair corneal damage from a chemical burn. It may help if standard treatments have not improved your eye surface.
This trial tests if a special type of bandage (hydrocolloid dressing) helps heal wounds after eye or face surgery. The goal is to see if it improves healing and comfort.
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.
