KERATOCONUS

This study tested a modified version of a standard eye procedure for people with keratoconus, a condition that thins and warps the cornea. The researchers wanted to see if injecting air into the cornea first could make the treatment safer and more effective for patients whose cor…

This study tested the safety and early effectiveness of a bioengineered corneal implant for people with advanced keratoconus, a condition that thins and bulges the cornea. Twenty adults received the implant in a minimally invasive procedure, aiming to improve vision without relyi…

This study followed patients with keratoconus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges, for one year after treatment. It compared a standard 30-minute corneal cross-linking procedure with a newer, faster 10-minute version to see which was better at stopping the disease from…

This study compared two ways to perform a procedure called corneal cross-linking, which aims to stop the progression of keratoconus, a condition where the front of the eye bulges outward. One method removes a thin protective layer of the eye, while a newer method leaves it intact…

This study collected detailed measurements of eye shape and vision quality from 52 adults with keratoconus, a condition that warps the cornea and distorts sight. Researchers used non-invasive scans to map the eye's surface and measure optical imperfections. The goal was to gather…

This study aims to understand how the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) heals and changes its strength after three common vision correction procedures: LASIK, PRK, and CXL. Researchers will measure the eyes of 150 people who have already had one of these surgeries, using a…
