We Pursue Eye Research
Current Studies
LASIK Study
Background: Millions of Americans have had laser refractive surgery (LASIK) to correct near-sightedness or far-sightedness. A temporary side effect is loss of sensation on the front part of the eye. This reduces the tendency to blink and produce tears, which can cause the eyes to feel drier than usual with some temporary distortion of vision.
Purpose: The purpose of this investigational study is to evaluate whether a new type of eye drop can help restore corneal sensation more quickly than usual after LASIK.
Participation: We plan to enroll up to 80 participants and follow them for a 6-month period.
Impact: This new treatment may help restore corneal sensation and crisp vision more rapidly after LASIK.
