First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding steroid eye drops to standard anti-parasitic treatment can improve vision and reduce pain in people with acanthamoeba keratitis, a rare but serious eye infection. About 232 participants who still have eye inflammation after one month of standard treatment will receive either steroid or placebo drops. The goal is to see if steroids help calm inflammation and lead to better eyesight.
