NCT ID NCT05865379
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a new eye drop, BUFY01, works as well as an existing one, SVS20, for people with dry eye disease. About 80 participants will use one of the two drops daily for three months. Researchers will check eye health and ask about symptoms to see if the treatments are similarly effective and safe.
