Measuring corneal thickness in people with nearsightedness or farsightedness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study uses a special eye scanner to measure the thickness of the clear front layer of the eye (cornea) in people with nearsightedness or farsightedness. The goal is to understand how refractive errors affect corneal thickness, which may help with future treatment planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia)
- Have a clear cornea (the front part of your eye) with no known disease
- Be able to follow instructions during an eye scan
- No eye surgery before, no contact lenses in the last two weeks, and no other serious eye conditions

This trial tests whether a special contact lens can slow down nearsightedness by measuring changes in the thickness of the back layer of your eye. It may help you understand if this lens works for your vision.
This study looks at the biomechanics (the physical properties) of the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) after a CLEAR procedure, a laser surgery to correct nearsightedness. By measuring how the cornea responds, researchers hope to improve the safety and outcomes of this surgery for future patients.
This study checks how accurately eye measurements describe astigmatism (a focus-bending problem) using different exam modes. It may help improve how doctors assess astigmatism after cataract surgery so treatment planning is more precise.
This study uses a special eye scanner to compare the front part of the eye in people with keratoconus, people with high myopia and astigmatism, and people with normal corneas. It aims to better understand the differences, which may help improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study uses a simple, painless eye scan (called OCT) to measure the layers at the back of your eyes in people with nearsightedness or farsightedness. The results help doctors better understand normal variations in these measurements for people with different prescriptions.
This study measures how light passes through the clear front part of your eye (cornea) using a specialized camera. These measurements help doctors better understand eye health and may improve future eye care.
