NCT ID NCT07295691

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether eye drops made from a patient's own blood serum can safely relieve symptoms of moderate-to-severe dry eye that hasn't improved with artificial tears. Researchers will collect a blood sample from each of the 70 participants, process it into drops, and then measure changes in vision and eye comfort. The goal is to see if this personalized approach offers better relief than standard treatments.
