Collagen Cross-linking for Keratoconus
This study is looking at a procedure called Laser Custom Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL) for people with keratoconus (a condition where the clear front part of the eye, the cornea, thins and bulges). Researchers will use special measurements from an OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) device to guide the laser settings during the CXL procedure. The goal is to see if this approach improves your best vision with glasses or contacts. To join, you need to be at least 18 years old, have keratoconus, and a minimum corneal thickness of 410 microns. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 100 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 100 participants.
- What's involved
- You would need to be able to maintain a steady gaze for OCT imaging and commit to all required study visits.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your vision will be checked at 6 months after the CXL procedure to see the improvement.

What this trial measures
- Improvement in best spectacle-corrected visual acuity after laser custom CXL6 months after the CXL procedure
The primary goal of the trial is to determine the extent of visual improvement after laser custom CXL compared to preoperative measurements. Vision will be checked at various time points, but the primary time point will be 6-months post-procedure.
