There are currently 15 active clinical trials seeking participants for Keratoconus research studies. The states with the highest number of trials for Keratoconus participants are California, New York, Texas and Ohio.
Transepithelial (Epi-on) Corneal Collagen Crosslinking to Treat Keratoconus and Corneal Ectasia
Recruiting
Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) has been demonstrated as an effective method of reducing progression of both keratoconus and corneal ectasia after surgery, as well as possibly decreasing the steepness of the cornea in these pathologies. Transepithelial crosslinking in which the epithelium is not removed has been proposed to offer a number of advantages over traditional crosslinking including an increased safety profile by reducing the risk for infection and scarring, faster visual recovery a...

Accelerated Corneal Collagen Crosslinking for Keratoconus and Ectasia Using Pulse or Continuous UV-A Light
Recruiting
Corneal collagen crosslinking has been demonstrated as an effective method of reducing progression of both keratoconus and post-refractive corneal ectasia, as well as decreasing the steepness of the cornea in these pathologies. Performing an accelerated CXL procedure with pulsed UVA light may increase the oxygenation of the cornea, which may improve the crosslinking efficacy.
