Assessing corneal health after lens implantation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the impact of phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation on the corneal endothelium in young adults. Using a specular microscope, researchers will measure changes in corneal endothelial cell density following the procedure. The study aims to determine whether this type of lens implantation affects corneal health over time. Participants will be monitored for endothelial cell counts to assess any potential adverse effects.
