New eye drop trial offers hope for chronic dry eye sufferers

NCT ID NCT07224529

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a prescription eye drop called Vevye (cyclosporine 0.1%) in 48 adults with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a common cause of dry, burning eyes. Participants use the drops twice daily for 24 weeks, and researchers measure changes in eye symptoms, gland function, and eye surface health. The goal is to see if Vevye can improve both symptoms and signs of MGD, potentially offering a new treatment option.
