Overview

The goal of this type of study to describe a new sandwich technique of minimally invasive keratoplasty (STMIK) by using SMILE-extracted lenticules for treatment corneal perforation and effectiveness.

The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1.Corneal perforations require urgent attendances for prompt treatments. How can we restore the integrity of the eyeball as soon as possible, reduce complications, and restore vision in the case of lack of corneal material according to the conditions that may be obtained.

2.In China, nearly 1 million lenticules are obtained through all-femtosecond surgery every year. How to reuse and turn waste into precious materials for clinical application is an important study.

Participants will understand and signed the informed consent to take this new method for the treatment of their corneal perforations disease, which will obtain good results, but there may be a certain risk of complications.The main tasks participants will be asked to cooperate as required.The clinical eye check includes the test of includes visual acuity, slit lamp, anterior segment phase, anterior segment OCT and IOP.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with corneal perforation who are willing to undergo treatment with this new technique;
  2. The size of cornea perforation was ≦ 3mm

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. The size of cornea perforation was >3mm
  2. Patients with corneal perforation who were unwilling to be treated with this new technique.
  3. Patients who could not be followed up regularly.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
