NCT ID NCT06013462

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how safe and effective DMEK (a type of cornea transplant) is for people who have already had eye surgeries like vitrectomy or glaucoma surgery. Researchers will track serious complications and vision improvement over 12 months in 80 participants. The goal is to see if DMEK can be a good option even in these more challenging cases.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) surgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that DMEK surgery is safe and effective even for patients with complicated eye histories, potentially improving vision outcomes for this group.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The surgery itself carries risks like graft detachment or rejection, especially in these complex cases.
