Medicated contact lenses for pain relief after laser eye surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two types of bandage contact lenses used after PRK laser eye surgery: one that releases a pain-relieving medicine (ketorolac) and one without medicine. The goal is to see if the medicated lens reduces pain better after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are willing to take part after being told about the study details
- You are not allergic to NSAIDs (like ibuprofen or ketorolac)

This study compares two methods for preparing the eye for laser vision correction (PRK): using a laser versus manual scraping to remove the thin outer layer of the cornea. The goal is to see which method gives better results and fewer side effects.
This study tests an eyedrop that may help with eye pain after PRK, a laser surgery that corrects vision. The goal is to see if this drop helps reduce pain after the procedure.
This study tests whether using eye drops with dexpanthenol and hyaluronic acid after laser eye surgery helps the surface of the eye heal faster. It may reduce discomfort and improve recovery.
This study is testing a new eye drop called Lacripep to see if it helps heal the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) faster after PRK laser vision correction. It is for active-duty military members and their families who are already planning to have PRK surgery.
This study tests if a medicine called gabapentin can safely reduce pain after a type of laser eye surgery called surface ablation. It's looking for adults with stable vision who are generally healthy and have not had previous eye procedures.
This study tests whether insulin eye drops help the outer layer of the eye heal faster after PRK laser surgery. If you are having PRK for nearsightedness or astigmatism, you might benefit from faster recovery.
