Can a donated corneal lens correct hard-to-tract high hyperopia and astigmatism?
NCT ID NCT04616144
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether implanting a fresh corneal lenticule — a thin layer of donor cornea — can improve vision in people with high hyperopia (farsightedness) and high astigmatism. The lenticule is placed using a femtosecond laser, aiming to increase visual acuity and reduce astigmatism. The study includes 55 participants with specific corneal thickness and refractive requirements.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a fresh corneal lenticule implanted using a femtosecond laser
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a surgical option for people with high hyperopia and high astigmatism who have few alternatives.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study with 55 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Risks include infection, inflammation, or the lenticule not integrating properly.
