NCT ID NCT07618169
First seen Jun 12, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026
Summary
This study tested two ways to warm the eyelids for people with dry eyes caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). Fifteen adults used both a USB-powered warm compress and a self-heating disposable eye mask for two weeks each. Both treatments improved tear stability and comfort, but the USB-powered device worked slightly better for gland function and patient satisfaction. No serious side effects occurred.
