Eye membrane patch shows promise for blinding corneal disease
NCT ID NCT05909735
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a thin, clear membrane from the back of the cornea (Descemet's membrane) can help the eye heal in people with limbal stem cell deficiency, a condition that can cause blindness. Nineteen participants received the membrane as a patch on the eye's surface. The goal was to see if the membrane could help regrow the cornea's outer layer and improve vision, while monitoring for side effects.
