Progressive Keratoconus Clinical Trial
Official title:
Multicenter, Randomized Study Evaluating the Use of a Non-sutured Sterile Freeze-dried Amniotic Membrane Post Crosslinking in Subjects With Progressive Keratoconus
Crosslinking is a therapeutic technique used to increase the rigidity of the cornea in order to slow or stop progression of keratoconus. The main complication of the treatment of keratoconus by crosslinking is postoperative pain due to the removal of the corneal epithelium. Currently, the management of pain is done through the administration of artificial tears and paracetamol. The amniotic membrane is a biological tissue used in ophthalmology to treat injuries of the surface of the eye. It has healing and analgesic properties. The objective of this multicenter randomized study is to evaluate the benefit of placing an amniotic membrane on the eye post-crosslinking to reduce pain and promote corneal healing.
