Summary
This study tests whether small plastic inserts placed in the cornea can reduce vision problems caused by keratoconus, a condition that makes the cornea bulge. The goal is to improve vision and help patients avoid needing a corneal transplant. The study will enroll 25 adults who can no longer see well with glasses or contacts and have transplant as their only other option.
