Stem cell eye drops aim to heal stubborn corneal wounds

NCT ID NCT06919081

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether eye drops made from stem cell secretions can help heal persistent corneal defects that haven't improved with standard treatments. About 24 adults with chronic corneal damage will receive either the active drops or a placebo for 8 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drops improve the eye's surface barrier and heal the defect.
