Fine-needle Diathermy Combined With Subconjunctival Bevacizumab for Corneal Neovascularization
Conditions: Corneal Neovascularisation
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 51
Sponsor: HoChiMinh City Eye Hospital
Location: HoChiMinh City Eye Hospital Ho Chi Minh City Xuan Hoa
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined fine-needle diathermy and subconjunctival Bevacizumab injection in patients with corneal neovascularization.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does combined fine-needle diathermy and subconjunctival Bevacizumab injection promote regression of corneal neovascularization? Is the treatment safe and well tolerated by patients?
Participants will:
Undergo a baseline evaluation, including assessment of disease duration, ocular history, systemic medical history, and presenting symptoms.
Undergo a detailed ophthalmic evaluation, including best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure measurement, slit-lamp examination, corneal photography, and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Provide informed consent after explanation of potential risks and benefits of the procedure.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age over 18 years.
* Diagnosis of corneal neovascularization involving at least one quadrant of the cornea, confirmed by slit-lamp examination.
* Corneal neovascularization is stable with no evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks.
* Agreement to participate in the study and ability to comply with outpatient follow-up requirements
Exclusion Criteria:
* Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
* History of hypersensitivity or allergy to bevacizumab or any component of the study medication.
* Presence of severe systemic disease that would preclude study participation or surgical intervention, including coagulation disorders or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease.
* Active ocular infection or acute conjunctivitis at the time of enrollment.
* Persistent corneal epithelial defect or delayed corneal epithelial healing.
* History of ocular surgery within 3 months before study enrollment.
* Corneal neovascularization associated with uncontrolled secondary glaucoma.
* Inability or unwillingness to comply with study treatment or follow-up visits.
