Could a light treatment for donor eyes save more sight?

NCT ID NCT06753916

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether treating donor corneal tissue with a special light-based process (cross-linking) before transplant can make it last longer and reduce rejection in people at high risk of graft failure. About 96 adults who need a high-risk cornea transplant will receive either a treated or standard donor cornea. The main goal is to check safety and see if the treated tissue lowers the chance of rejection or graft failure over two years.
