A Randomized, Prospective, Double Masked Clinical Trial of Life 4°C Versus Optisol GS Corneal Storage Media
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Corneal donor storage in Optisol GS media solution and Life 4°C solution for cornea storage for Complications of Corneal Transplant. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the success of storing a donor cornea in Optisol GS, the current standard vs. storing the donor cornea in Life4°C, a newer solution. The donor cornea to be used for EK will be provided by an eye bank and will have been stored in either an Optisol GS solution or a Life 4°C solution. At 6 months, the doctors will determine whether there are any comparable differences in cell loss and graft clarity between the two donor corneas.
