New membrane could speed healing of eye infections
NCT ID NCT07559149
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a special amniotic membrane containing riboflavin and moxifloxacin to standard PACK-CXL therapy helps heal infected corneal ulcers faster. 32 adults with moderate-to-severe ulcers took part. The goal was to see if the membrane improves corneal healing and reduces inflammation compared to standard treatment alone.
