Filter by:Introduction: Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness globally. Most anti-hypertensive drops contain preservatives harmful to the corneal epithelium, with up to 78% of treated patients reporting dry eye symptoms. Autologous serum eye drops (ASED), contains essential growth factors and nutrients which may promote corneal and conjunctival integrity, offering benefits over traditional treatments. This study investigates the efficacy of 20% ASED over placebo in the treatment of corneal epitheliopathies in patients with glaucoma treated with antihypertensive drops. Methods: The present study is a triple-blinded, randomized controlled trial that anticipates to enroll 25 patients (50 eyes) with bilateral corneal epitheliopathy secondary to antihypertensive glaucoma treatments. Patients will receive autologous serum eye drops in one eye and placebo in the contralateral eye for two months, in addition to standard artificial tears treatment. The primary outcome is the comparison of National Eye Institute (NEI) scores between autologous serum drops and placebo-treated eyes at two months. Secondary outcomes include Schirmer's test scores, visual acuity, tear break-up time (TBUT), Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores, intraocular pressure, and complication rates. The study aims to analyze the effectiveness of autologous serum eye drops in treating corneal epitheliopathies in glaucoma patients, potentially offering a new therapeutic avenue.
Renal anemia refers to anemia in which the absolute or relative production of erythropoietin (EPO) is insufficient due to various kidney diseases, and uremic toxins affect erythropoietin production and its lifespan. Common treatment drugs for renal anemia include erythropoietin EPO and Roxadustat (FG-4592). Medical history information was collected from patients with renal anemia who visited the ophthalmology department with dry eye symptoms. This study will help to determine the function and morphological characteristics of meibomian gland in patients with renal anemia
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.
This study is a multicentric, comparative, randomized, investigator-blinded, parallel group study to demonstrate the non-inferiority of DM934 in comparison with Théalose in terms of cornea and conjunctiva staining (Oxford score) on patients with moderate to severe ocular dryness, after 35 days of treatment
Single site, prospective, double-masked, randomized-controlled, two-arm study of the dry eye symptoms as well as corneal and conjunctival staining in subjects using 2 different eyedrops. Subjects will be assessed at a screening visit, and 2 follow-up visits. Clinical evaluations will include patient questionnaire, tear-breakup time, and slit lamp exam.
Miebo (Perfluorohexyloctane) is a novel, non-aqueous, single entity, preservative free, ophthalmic drop. This drop was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Meibomian Gland Disease (MGD). All published data on Miebo has been done in non-contact lens wearers. As contact lens dropout rates seem to be an ongoing problem for practitioners, we are performing this study utilizing this novel new drug with contact lens patients to determine if the drops assist comfort in typical soft contact lens wearing patients. If the study determines that Miebo assists in the overall comfort of contact lens patients this could be a possible way to help keep patients in their contact lenses longer.
The goal of this study is testing LACRIACT® eye drops, a medical device, to see how well it works and if people can use it safely. The Investigators will study this in people who have dry eyes, some of whom wear contact lenses, and some who do not. To obtain data from 20 participants, the investigators will first screen 22 patients, as two of them may not meet the requirements. If someone quits the study, the Investigators will not replace them with someone else. A person can partecipate in the study if they meet certain criteria in the study plan, complete the entire treatment, and use eye drops correctly at least 80% of the time. The Investigators running the study might also include up to 10 people who wear soft contact lenses out of the 20 in total. This study will be conducted at a clinic in Italy.
A single center randomized controlled trial on managing dry eye signs and symptoms in patients using anti-glaucoma eye drops.
This study aimed to evaluate the validity of the Chinese translation version of OSDI-6 (C-OSDI-6) in a theoretical set-up of two questionnaire groups for dry eye
