Artificial eye users may face hidden dry eye damage
NCT ID NCT07621952
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 20 adults who wear an artificial eye to see if it causes more dry eye symptoms and damage to the tiny oil glands in the eyelids. Researchers compared the artificial eye side with the healthy eye side using special imaging and questionnaires. The goal was to understand if wearing a prosthetic eye leads to gland loss and discomfort.
