NCT ID NCT07539012

First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looks at whether polishing the inner layer of the cornea before injecting new cells helps remove tiny bumps called guttae in people with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. Twenty patients scheduled for corneal transplant will have half their cornea polished and the other half left untouched. Researchers will compare the number and height of guttae between the two halves to see if polishing makes a difference.
