Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether Lacripep eye drops can help the cornea heal faster and more smoothly after PRK laser eye surgery. 88 active-duty military members and their dependents will receive Lacripep in one eye and a placebo in the other. The study measures corneal thickness and vision recovery to see if the drug is safe and effective.

What this could mean

Active substance

Lacripep ophthalmic solution (0.00025%)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new eye drop to help the cornea heal faster and more completely after laser eye surgery.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 88 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment is compared to placebo in the same person, and long-term safety is not yet known.
