ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two eye conditions: keratoconus and high myopic astigmatism. The goal is to use a special imaging technique called Scheimpflug tomography to look at and compare the shapes and features of the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) in people with these conditions. Researchers want to find out what distinguishes keratoconus from high myopic astigmatism, which is important for better diagnosis and treatment.

To participate in this study, you may be eligible if you have keratoconus or a clear cornea with high myopic astigmatism. However, you cannot have had previous eye surgery, other eye diseases, or wear contact lenses. If you join the study, you can expect to undergo some imaging tests to help gather information about your eye condition. Please note that the trial is not yet recruiting, so more details will be provided once it starts.
