Dry eye sufferers: are preservatives in your eye drops making things worse?
NCT ID NCT07635849
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of artificial tears for dry eye disease: one with preservatives and one without. Researchers want to see which is safer and more effective over 8 weeks. About 80 adults with dry eye will take part, and neither they nor their doctors will know which type they receive. The goal is to find out if preservative-free drops are a better choice for long-term use.
