Summary

This study tests whether an oral supplement that targets gut bacteria can reduce dry eye symptoms in adults with moderate dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. Over 8 weeks, 130 participants will take either the supplement or a placebo, and researchers will measure changes in eye discomfort and tear film stability. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to ease chronic dry eye.
