First seen Jan 25, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This early study tests a small metal device implanted in the cornea to treat advanced keratoconus, a condition where the eye's front surface bulges and blurs vision. The goal is to flatten the cornea and improve sight, potentially avoiding the need for a corneal transplant. The study involves 12 adults with severe keratoconus who are already candidates for transplant, and will monitor safety and vision changes over 12 months.
