Filter by:1. To compare the corneal epithelial defect healing time between diabetic patients receiving and not receiving supplementary oxygen after vitrectomy. 2. To determine whether factors such as age, duration of diabetes, duration of surgery and level of glycemic control have any influence on corneal epithelial wound healing time in diabetic patients receiving and not receiving supplementary oxygen post-vitrectomy.
To evaluate the clinical effect of combination of topical 20% (v/v) autologous serum eye drops and a silicone-hydrogel contact lens (CLs) in the treatment of recalcitrant persistent epithelial defects (PEDs) and the recurrence rate of epithelial breakdown with or without continued use of autologous serum eye drops.
Corneal disease is a leading cause of blindness in the world. A shortage of corneal donor tissue has prevented many patients from regaining vision. Additionally, refractive error such as myopia is a major cause of impaired visual function worldwide. Although refractive error is correctable by procedures that modify the refractive power of the cornea, these procedures often weaken corneal integrity and have risk of complications. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of corneal surface epithelium repair and regeneration in the treatment of corneal surface diseases and refractive error using autologous limbal stem cell transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to asses the agreement of the RS-3000 Lite and RS-3000 Advance to the RS-3000, assess the crossed precision of each study device and to assess the transference of a reference database from the RS-3000 to the RS-3000 Lite and to the RS-3000 Advance.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of corneal collagen cross-linking performed with VibeX (riboflavin ophthalmic solution) and the KXL System as compared to placebo in impeding the progression of, and/or reducing, maximum corneal curvature.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the 3-year graft failure rate following endothelial keratoplasty performed with donor corneas with a preservation time of 8 to 14 days is non-inferior to the failure rate when donor corneas with a preservation time of 7 or fewer days are used.
Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) has been proposed 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. During previous studies of the CXL procedure, the surface epithelial cells have been removed. 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 as no epithelial barrier will be broken, faster visual recovery and improved patient comfort in the early postoperative healing period.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of three treatment regimens for corneal collagen cross-linking performed with VibeX (riboflavin ophthalmic solution) and the KXL System in impeding the progression of, and/or reducing maximum corneal curvature.
The primary objective of this clinical study is to compare the Nidek RS-3000 Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) device to the Optovue RTVue OCT. The secondary objective is to evaluate any adverse events found during the clinical study.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate two different ultraviolet (UV) dosing regimens for corneal collagen cross linking to slow the progressive changes in corneal curvature in eyes with progressive keratoconus or post-refractive surgery ectasia.
