DRY EYE

This study tests whether transplanting healthy bacteria from the eye's surface can help people with moderate to severe dry eye. Forty participants will either receive the bacteria transplant or a fake procedure. Researchers will measure changes in eye discomfort and surface damag…

This study tests special eye drops made with stem cells to see if they can help people with dry eye disease and cataracts. Researchers will give 300 adults these drops three times a day for 12 weeks. They will check if the drops improve tear film, reduce symptoms, and clear up th…

This study tests a new AI algorithm that screens for severe dry eye disease by analyzing images of the cornea. Researchers will enroll 200 adults already diagnosed with dry eye to see if the AI can better identify cases needing specialist care compared to a standard symptom quest…

This study aims to improve how doctors detect, classify, and treat irregular corneas caused by conditions like keratoconus, dry eye, and corneal scars. Researchers will use a special imaging device called optical coherence tomography (OCT) to get detailed measurements of the corn…

This study tests whether rinsing the inner eyelids and eye surface with a special device can lower inflammation and improve symptoms in people with dry eye disease. Researchers will measure changes in a marker of inflammation called MMP-9 in 33 participants. The goal is to see if…

This study tests a varenicline nasal spray for treating dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction. Researchers will measure changes in tear film thickness and stability in 65 adults with mild to moderate symptoms. The goal is to see if the spray improves eye comfort and gland funct…

This study compares two preservative-free eye drops, Artelac Complete MDO and VISMED MULTI, for treating moderate to severe dry eye disease. About 160 adults who have used tear substitutes for at least a month will use one of the two drops for 90 days. Researchers will measure ch…

This study is testing VEVYE eye drops (cyclosporine 0.1%) in 50 adults with dry eye disease who also have a neuro-ophthalmic condition, such as neurotrophic keratitis. Participants use the drops twice daily for 6 months. Researchers will measure changes in corneal staining and sy…

This study tests whether a product called Lacrifill can help people who wear contact lenses but get dry, uncomfortable eyes. About 30 adults who currently can't wear their lenses for long periods will use Lacrifill for 2-3 months. Researchers will check if it improves comfort, ex…

This study looks at whether lifestyle changes can improve dry eyes in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Researchers will measure tear production and eye comfort in 40 women before and after the program. The goal is to see if weight loss and healthy habits can eas…

This study tests whether a drug called TRYPTYR (Acoltremon) can improve quality of life and work ability in adults with chronic dry eye disease. About 40 participants who are unhappy with their current treatment will use the eye drops for one month. Researchers will measure chang…

This early study tests a new eye drop called JN002 in 30 adults with dry eye disease. Participants will use the drops three times a day for 28 days. The goal is to see if the drops are safe and if they improve symptoms and eye surface health compared to a placebo.

This study tests a device called Rexon-Eye that uses low-level electrical current to treat dry eye disease. Researchers will also analyze tear proteins to see how they change with treatment. The trial involves 75 adults with dry eye and aims to understand both the device's effect…

This study tests whether a new eye drop called VSJ-110 can safely ease dry eye symptoms. About 160 adults will use either the active drops or a placebo for eight weeks. Researchers will check for changes in eye surface damage, tear production, and discomfort.

This study tests whether Kera Sol eye drops can reduce dry eye symptoms in the two weeks after LASIK surgery. About 60 adults having LASIK in both eyes will use the drops and be monitored for changes in corneal staining and comfort. The goal is to see if the drops help manage tem…

This study is testing whether eye drops made from cord blood plasma can relieve symptoms of moderate to severe dry eye disease better than standard artificial tears. Researchers will compare the cord blood drops combined with cyclosporine to a control treatment of hyaluronic acid…

This study looks at whether dry eye disease affects the accuracy of corneal measurements needed for cataract surgery planning. 400 cataract patients will be divided into those with and without dry eye. Those with dry eye will use sodium hyaluronate eye drops for two weeks. Resear…

This study will enroll 50 people with dry eye disease to compare three different devices that measure the thickness of the tear film's lipid layer. Researchers want to see which device gives the most consistent readings and which one best matches other signs of dry eye. The goal …

This study looks at how low-level light therapy changes tear proteins in people with dry eye disease. Researchers want to understand how the therapy works and find markers that show who will respond well. About 30 adults will have their tears tested before and after treatment.

This study looks at how to better diagnose and treat dry eye before cataract surgery to help people see better after the operation. About 110 adults with dry eye will be followed to find the best ways to prepare the eye surface. The goal is to create clear guidelines that eye doc…

This study looks at whether closing your eyes for 3 minutes can improve the quality of a key eye measurement (keratometry) used before cataract surgery. The measurement is often less accurate in people with dry eye. Researchers will compare measurements taken before and after eye…

This study tests a high-resolution imaging system to see tiny structures in the eye that routine tools cannot detect. Researchers will scan 1,200 people with various eye conditions and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand diseases like glaucoma, diabetes, and reti…

This study looks at whether using eyeliner can lead to dry eyes. Researchers will compare tear production, tear film stability, and tear composition between 80 people who use eyeliner regularly and those who don't. The goal is to understand if eyeliner ingredients change tears an…

This study looks at whether low-level light therapy (LLLT) warms the eyelids differently in people with various skin pigmentation levels who also have dry eye or meibomian gland disease. Forty adults will receive three 15-minute sessions over 1-2 weeks. Researchers will measure e…
