Impact of Scleral Contact Lens Wear on Corneal Nerves in Keratoconus

NCT03091101 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 8

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate changes in corneal innervation during scleral contact lens wear in a keratoconic population. Specifically, changes in corneal sensitivity and nerve fiber density from baseline in the central and mid-peripheral corneal locations will be measured over a 6-month lens wear period. An additional aim of the study is to investigate the impact of scleral lens wear on corneal inflammation within the same study group. This will be achieved by comparing dendritic cell density change from baseline over the study period.
