Filter by:This study is a multicenter, double-masked, vehicle-controlled, randomized, parallel group study designed to evaluate the treatment of abnormal meibomian gland function and associated symptoms of DED using either AZR-MD-001 0.5% ophthalmic ointment or its vehicle. Study drug (either AZR-MD-001 or vehicle) will be dosed twice-weekly at bedtime for up to 12 months.
This is a study on neurological dry eye disease, focusing on a patented over-the-counter supplement supporting tear production neurologically, including the lacrimal and vagus nerves.
To quantify and compare tear levels of Intense pulsed light (IPL) and traditional dry eye clinical tests in dry eye patients before and after Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment.
Previous research has demonstrated the effectiveness of AFFRONEYE® / CROCUVIS+® dietary supplement, based on saffron extract, in the proper functioning of visual health, for example, against the development of glaucoma. The main objective of this study is to compare the results of clinical tests that evaluate signs and symptoms for the diagnosis of dry eye, between two groups (some that take the dietary supplement and others a placebo), in a sample of university workers and students who suffer from dry eye.
The investigators will be evaluating the use of broadband light in Dry Eye and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.
The excessive use of screens particularly amongst digital gamers can adversely impact the health of the surface of the eyes with symptoms and signs of surface damage. While strategies including limiting screen time exist, these may be ineffective given the widespread rise of digital device use and gaming culture in the modern era. There is limited evidence for the protective effect of lubricating eyedrops on the ocular surface for handheld console and computer gamers. The aim of this study is to investigate the protective effect of a lubricating eyedrop (TheaLoz Duo) on the surface of the eyes in handheld console and computer gamers. The main question it aims to answer is whether TheaLoz Duo could protect the surface of the eyes from dessication and alleviate symptoms of dry eye disease in handheld console and computer gamers. Participants will receive either the lubricating eyedrop first for 1 month, followed by control saline eyedrop solution for another month, or the other way round. Participants will attend 3 visits in total, each separated by 1 month apart. During each visit, routine clinical assessments of the front of the eye will be conducted. Subsequent findings from this timely study will help improve care of the surface of the eyes for a growing population of gamers worldwide.
In this study, the EyePeace an eye massager will be compared with a standard-of-care warm compress treatment with evaporative dry eye disease. The objective is to asses the safety and effectiveness EyePeace eye massager is in relieving the signs and symptoms of evaporative dry eye disease.
Dry eye disease (DED) is the most prevalent ocular surface disease worldwide. Standard treatments like artificial tears show limited effect. Regarding the ultrasonic atomization, the ultrasonic nebulizer produces consistent steam from the solution with a treatment effect delivered to the ocular surface. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) ultrasonic atomization as an adjuvant treatment for DED. This is a randomized double-masked, active- and placebo-controlled trial. 200 subjects will be equally assigned to the herbal compound decoction(CD) group, dendrobium caulis (DC) group, houttuynia cordata (HC) group, placebo atomization(PA) group, and artificial tear (AT) group by stratified permuted block randomization. Subjects of CD, DC, HC, and PA groups will receive TCM ultrasonic atomization treatment (6 times/week). All patients will receive hypromellose 0.3% w/v lubricant eye drops for a 1-week wash-out and a 4-month follow-up period. Outcomes included non-invasive tear break-up times, corneal and conjunctival fluorescein staining, and other dry eye-related parameter examined by LipiView II Ocular Surface Interferometer, OCULUS® Keratograph 5M, and slit lamp biomicroscope evaluated by masked clinical assessors at baseline, week 1, 2, 3, 4 and month 2, 3, 4. The other subjective questionnaires like the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire are also selected.
Orthokeratology(OK) is currently one of the effective methods for treating myopia, reshaping the corneal epithelium to change refractive power. Due to its contact with the ocular surface, long-term wearing could lead to symptoms and signs of dry eye disease(DED) , as well as changes in tear film stability. This prospective study randomly divided 300 children and adolescents with myopia into OK group and spectacles group, with a follow-up of 12 months. At baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, non-invasive tear breakup time (NIBUT), ocular surface disease index (OSDI) and visual analogue score (VAS) score, tear meniscus height (TMH), conjunctival hyperemia (RS score) and meibomian gland (MG) scores, tear MMP-9 concentration, and point-of-care Lymphotoxin alpha (LTA) test.
This randomized clinical trial (RCT) was aimed to determine the effects of eye masking on sleep quality and tear layer function in patients with dry eye disease. In this regard, a total of 34 patients with dry eye disease aged between 20 to 35 years old will be participated. They will be randomly divided into case and control (n=17) groups. Patients in the case group will be instructed to wear the eye mask as long as two weeks and the controls will be recommended to not wear it at the same time. Afterwards, the eye mask application will be cross- over for the next 2 hours between the two groups. Tear layer will be investigated in baseline and repeated in both follow- ups of weeks 2 and 4, either quantitatively and qualitatively, by using Schirmer and TBUT tests. Furthermore, the sleep quality will be checked by the PSQI test.
