Filter by:The purpose of this study was to determine if difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion is effective in reducing the ocular symptoms of dry eye disease, as measured by a global Visual Analog Scale (VAS) discomfort score.
Purpose To try to establish whether lid-parallel conjunctival folds (LIPCOF) can be influenced by increased lubrication with rewetting and lubricating eyedrops containing hydroxypropyl-guar, which has proven lubricating effect. Methods During summer and fall of 2009, 16 ophthalmologists from various regions of Croatia investigated the effect of topical therapy with lubricating eyedrops on the signs and symptoms of dry eye, with the special emphasis on lid-parallel conjunctival folds (LIPCOF). 229 patients were enrolled in the study. Results After 14 days of therapy with lubricating eyedrops containing hydroxypropyl-guar, statistically significant reduction of LIPCOF grade was observed, as well as the reduction of symptoms and other signs of dysfunctional tear syndrome (TBUT, Schirmer test, conjunctival hyperemia). Conclusion Results of this study have shown positive influence of lubricating eyedrops containing hydroxypropyl-guar on signs and symptoms of dysfunctional tear syndrome even after only 14 days of treatment. It is of particular interest that LIPCOF grade was statistically significantly decreased, pointing at increased friction and decreased ocular surface lubrication as possible causes of its appearance. Having this in mind, every clinician involved in dysfunctional tear syndrome treatment must also think about lubrication as integral part of treating this condition.
The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of 1% MIM-D3 and 5% MIM-D3 to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.
Dry eyes are a very common complaint. In some patients, we can identify the reason for the dryness; however, in others the dryness has no clear cause. Dryness can lead to eye irritation, redness, and sometimes changes in vision. Fibromyalgia is a condition of chronic pain that is poorly understood but seems to have a component of altered sensory processing. People with fibromyalgia tend to complain of dry and irritated eyes at a higher rate than the general population. We plan to evaluate patients with dry eye symptoms for abnormalities in sensory processing and in their autonomic nervous system. We hope to learn about possible relationships between dry eye symptoms and fibromyalgia in order to better understand and treat these conditions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ocular retention time of Systane Ultra compared to Hialid and saline.
This study assessed the effects of a single intravenous dose of secukinumab (AIN457) 10 mg/kg or canakinumab (ACZ885) 10 mg/kg on the signs and symptoms of dry eye. In addition, the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and safety profiles of secukinumab and canakinumab were assessed. Blood samples were collected for the analysis of the effect of secukinumab and canakinumab on select biomarkers.
To investigate that the efficacy of 3% DE-089 ophthalmic solution (one drop at a time, 6 times daily, 4 weeks topical administration), in comparison to 0.1% sodium hyaluronate ophthalmic solution (0.1% HA) (one drop at a time, 6 times daily, 4 weeks topical administration), is at least non-inferior in the change in fluorescein staining score, and is superior in the change in Rose bengal score, in a multicenter, double-masked, parallel-group comparison study. Safety profile will likewise be compared.
Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Two Concentrations of DE-110 Compared to Placebo for the Treatment of Dry Eye Disease
Eligible patients with dry eye will be treated with CF101 or placebo twice daily for 24 weeks. Disease activity will be assessed using evaluations of ocular surface integrity, tear production, and patient symptoms.
Objectively evaluate the ocular surface (pre-corneal tear film) of individuals prior to and after an intervention (such as a dry eye treatment, environmental change, artificial tear use, or contact lens wear) in a controlled-environmental chamber, over time using non-contact instruments.
