First seen Apr 06, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study will examine how the dry eye medication lifitegrast (Xiidra) affects proteins in the tears of 36 adults with dry eye disease. Researchers will collect tear samples before and after 84 days of treatment to see which proteins change. The goal is to better understand how the drug works at a molecular level, not to test its safety or effectiveness.
