Dry eye study seeks better ways to measure disease
NCT ID NCT07025811
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tracks 378 people with moderate to severe dry eye disease and healthy volunteers to see how signs, symptoms, and biomarkers change after treatment with either Vevye or Xiidra eye drops. The goal is to find better ways to measure the disease and its response to therapy. Participants will receive standard anti-inflammatory eye drops and be monitored over time.
