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.
