Corneal Biomechanical Analysis Using Brillouin Microscopy
This observational study is looking at how stiff your cornea (the clear front part of your eye) is, using a special device called Brillouin microscopy. Researchers want to understand how corneal stiffness changes in people with keratoconus (a condition where the cornea thins and bulges) and after certain eye procedures like LASIK or corneal cross-linking (CXL). The study will measure changes in corneal stiffness over three months. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 60 years old and have keratoconus, normal corneas, or are having refractive surgery (like LASIK) or CXL for keratoconus. The study aims to enroll 220 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will be watching and recording information without giving you a specific treatment. It plans to include 220 participants.
- What's involved
- The study will measure changes in Brillouin metrics between your baseline visit and 3 months later. The specific number of visits or procedures is not detailed.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your corneal stiffness will be measured at baseline and again 3 months later.
