Tiny dissolving insert could replace messy eye drops after vision surgery
NCT ID NCT06235567
Summary
This study is testing whether a small, dissolving insert placed in the tear duct is as effective as standard steroid eye drops for reducing inflammation after a procedure to strengthen a weakened cornea (keratoconus). The insert slowly releases medication over 30 days and then dissolves on its own, which could help patients who struggle with using eye drops multiple times a day. Researchers hope this alternative will improve treatment adherence and recovery outcomes for patients.
