Dry eye study seeks to predict nerve damage early
NCT ID NCT06482164
First seen Apr 08, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This completed study looked at 31 dry eye patients to find early signs of a condition called Stage 1 Neurotrophic Keratopathy (NK), where the cornea loses feeling. By measuring corneal sensitivity, researchers hoped to identify patients who might later need a special treatment (rhNGF) to keep their vision sharp. The goal was to improve detection, not to test a new treatment.
