New eye drop aims to soothe dry eyes from too much screen time
NCT ID NCT07679685
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new eye drop (perfluorohexyloctane) with a standard one (sodium hyaluronate) for people whose eyes get dry from using screens for more than 6 hours a day. Participants aged 18 to 70 with mild to moderate dry eye will use the drops four times daily for 8 weeks. The main goal is to see if the new drop improves tear film stability better than the standard treatment.
