New eye drops promise quick redness relief
NCT ID NCT06444529
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special eye drop (apraclonidine) can safely reduce eye redness caused by minor irritations. 159 adults who often use redness-relief drops took part. Researchers measured redness before and after using the drops, checking at 15 minutes and 10 hours later. The goal was to see if the drops work better than a placebo (fake drops).
