Innovative Corneal Research

Professor Trevor Sherwin and his team from Ophthalmology have developed an innovative approach using an eye drop solution to reshape and stabilise the cornea. Further research this year is expected to lead to benefits for people who need treatments for eye conditions such as keratoconus and eventually for myopia. The research into these new treatment is expected to reduce the chronic waiting list for donor corneas in New Zealand, including for those with other eye conditions awaiting corneal transplant.

    Thank you for your interest in our research. Here is an update from Professor Trevor Sherwin: "The research is ongoing and making progress with promising results but progression to clinical trials is necessarily going to be cautious and that normally means slower than possible patients would like. It is impossible to put a date on trials at the present."

    Any 2023 updates???! And any human clinical trials or do you have a funding issue or a lack of staff/manpower or need FDA approval or something? You can experiment on removed keratoconic grafts from corneal transplants obviously instead of only researching and testing on animals only. People like us who actually suffer from moderate to severe or advanced keratoconus or even those who are mild/in early stages still need a cure for ASAP please. Especially those with high order aberrations or extreme distortion and blurriness in vision. It's been 7 years already since you uploaded this video and important information. Regards.

    I live in America so I don't have health insurance. Do you have any suggestions for a safe way to do a corneal debridement on oneself in order to scrape away cloudy dystrophy regions and possibly even scarred areas? I'm thinking of inebriating myself with whiskey and then centering my eye right down onto the rim of the bottle, looking down into it, then turning the bottle upside down as I lay my head back onto a pillow, holding the bottle in place to saturate the cornea with the alcohol. I might give that about 30 minutes and then use a credit card or a dull knife to scrape the top layer of cells away. I can't afford medication here in the states so I would also have to order some steroid drops from India and administer those for a week, right? Here goes...

    I'm very wary of steroids (even in low doses); they've made me dependent for my eczema, astma, etc.;; and potentially have increased my eyeball pressure and thus added to keratoconus. But, if this works- and God I hope it does- I might consider it. I regret rubbing my eyes so much every day.
