New eye scan could predict vision changes after cornea surgery
NCT ID NCT04258787
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study uses a special eye scan called OCT to measure swelling in the cornea of people with Fuchs' dystrophy or a related condition. Researchers want to see if this scan can predict how vision changes after surgery. About 60 participants will be observed over time.
