DRY EYE

This study is testing special eye drops containing stem cells to see if they can help people with dry eye disease and cataracts. The drops aim to improve tear production, reduce eye discomfort, and potentially help with corneal clarity. Researchers will enroll 300 adults to compa…

This early-stage study is testing whether transplanting healthy bacteria from a donor's eye to a patient's eye can help treat dry eye disease. It will involve 40 people with moderate to severe dry eye to see if this new approach reduces discomfort, improves tear production, and c…

This study aims to find a better way to diagnose and manage dry eye disease by analyzing the proteins in a person's tears. Researchers will test a special device that uses gentle electrical stimulation on the eyelids to see if it improves dry eye symptoms. They will track 75 part…

This study aims to create better tests and treatment plans for dry eye before cataract surgery. Researchers will follow 110 patients with and without dry eye to see how their eye surface health affects their vision after surgery. The goal is to develop a standard approach to mana…

This study is looking at whether adding regular walking to a standard treatment plan helps reduce dry eye symptoms in obese women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). All 40 participants will take medication and follow a low-calorie diet for 12 weeks, but half will also do trea…

This study is testing whether a new eye drop called VSJ-110 is safe and effective at relieving dry eye symptoms. About 160 adults with dry eye will use the drops or a placebo for eight weeks. Researchers will measure changes in eye dryness and irritation to see if the new treatme…

This study is testing if eye drops made from umbilical cord blood plasma work better than standard artificial tears for people with moderate to severe dry eye. It will involve 100 adults whose eyes are severely irritated and damaged from dry eye disease. Researchers will compare …

This study is testing whether using Kera Sol artificial tears helps reduce dry eye symptoms and signs of surface damage in the two weeks after LASIK eye surgery. Researchers will enroll 60 people who have just had LASIK and randomly assign them to use either the standard post-sur…

This is a very early study to test a new eye drop called JN002 for people with dry eye disease. Researchers want to see if it is safe and if it helps reduce symptoms like eye discomfort and damage. They will compare two different strengths of the drops against a placebo (dummy) t…

This study is testing whether a recently approved eye drop called TRYPTYR can improve the quality of life and ability to work for adults with chronic dry eye disease. It will enroll 40 participants whose dry eye symptoms significantly interfere with their work. The main goal is t…

This study aims to understand if a person's skin color affects how their eyelids respond to a gentle light therapy used for dry eye disease. Researchers will measure eyelid temperature in 40 participants with dry eye after they receive three short light therapy sessions. The goal…

This study aims to understand if wearing eyeliner regularly contributes to dry eye disease. Researchers will compare the tear composition and eye surface health of people who use eyeliner frequently with those who don't. The goal is to identify potential risk factors for dry eye …

This study aims to understand how low-level light therapy works for dry eye disease by examining protein changes in tears before and after treatment. Researchers will enroll 30 adults with dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction who are already scheduled for light therapy. The ma…

This study aims to test new, high-tech eye imaging systems that can see microscopic details of the eye, like individual cells and blood flow, which are not visible with standard equipment. Researchers will enroll 1,200 participants, including people with various eye conditions an…

This study is testing whether closing your eyes for three minutes can improve the accuracy of eye curvature measurements. It involves 29 adults who are scheduled for cataract surgery and have received a 'warning' about the quality of their initial eye measurements. Researchers wi…
