New eye drop aims to ease pain of retinal shots
NCT ID NCT05750589
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new eye drop called IRX-101 to see if it reduces pain and surface damage after anti-VEGF injections for retinal disease. About 240 adults who get these injections will receive either IRX-101 or standard povidone-iodine. The goal is to make the procedure more comfortable and protect the eye's surface.
