NCT ID NCT05180994
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a special anti-inflammatory eye drop (infliximab) can prevent glaucoma after a cornea transplant. About 50 adults having their first cornea transplant will use the drops after surgery. Researchers will watch for side effects and check if the drops help keep eye pressure and nerve health normal.
