First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study tests whether using artificial tears right after radioactive iodine therapy can prevent tear duct blockages in thyroid cancer patients. Radioactive iodine can get into tears and damage the tear ducts, causing blockages over time. The trial will follow 100 adults for two years to see if the eye drops lower the risk of this side effect.
