Has anyone else got any insight on how this new eye drop treatment is going in clincal trials

Currently, they have 36 people registered and this drug aims to flatten the cornea.

This potential treatment was mentioned by Professor Buckley at our 2018 AGM (see the article about the AGM in our Summer 2018 newsletter).

A hoped for trial in the UK doesn't seem to have materialised and I'm afraid trials like this often take several years to publish any results. It would be wonderful if a simple eye drop could stop KC progressing, so we'll definitely let people know as soon as there's any news.
