Corneal Elastography and Patient Specific Modeling for Eye Conditions
This observational study aims to improve how we understand and predict individual responses to eye treatments, especially for conditions like keratoconus (a thinning of the cornea) and refractive errors (common vision problems like nearsightedness or farsightedness). Researchers will use optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging to look at the mechanical properties of your cornea. They will then create computer models to simulate how your eye might respond to treatments like LASIK (laser vision correction). The main goal is to see if these computer models can accurately predict changes in the cornea's shape after surgery. You may be able to join if you are between 16 and 80 years old and have keratoconus or are planning to have LASIK surgery. The study status is currently unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study planning to enroll 60 participants. It is not a randomized study and does not involve new treatments, only imaging.
- What's involved
- You would undergo imaging with an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system to assess your corneal biomechanical properties. No other investigational procedures are involved.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study measures predictive accuracy of computational models at 3 months after corneal surgery.
