Filter by:The purpose of this single-arm pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of combination therapy of intense pulsed light (IPL) and (Radiofrequency) RF for treatment of Dry eye disease (DED) due to Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
The purpose of this study is to measure efficacy and safety with SHJ002 sterile ophthalmic solution compared to vehicle in participants with Dry Eye Disease (DED). SHJ002 is an antisense oligonucleotide to neutralize a specific microRNA.
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled, clinical interventional study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nutritears®, a dietary supplement of OmniActive Health Technologies, in adult subjects with dry eye syndrome (DES). Subjects shall be instructed to consume one capsule of their assigned investigational study product every morning after the breakfast, at the same time every day, for 56 days (8 weeks).
To compare the prevalence of dry eye symptoms and to investigate the association of the risk factors with the dry eye symptomatology among university students in the epidemic and non-epidemic areas of China under the COVID-zero strategy.
The Rexon Eye device (Resono Ophthalmic Inc, Trieste, Italy) is a new device based on QMR technology. Quantum Molecular Resonance (QMR) is a technique in which low-intensity, high-frequency electric currents are administered to a biological tissue through contact electrodes. The device applies stimulation to the epidermis of closed eyelids up to the lid margin by means of specially designed goggles. Previous studies have shown that it is relatively safe with high patient satisfaction. Preliminary studies have also shown it is effective for accelerating healing in chronic wounds and treating dry eye symptoms.
The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of YP-P10 Ophthalmic Solution to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.
Importance: Lipid layer thickness (LLT) reflects the lipid components of tear film, but is affected by the mucocutaneous components. This study investigated the therapeutic effect of the treatments for aqueous-deficient dry eye (ADDE) on LLT. Objective: To investigate the effect of ADDE and its treatments on LLT measurements by tear interferometry. Design, Setting, and Participants: This prospective comparative interventional study included 152 eyes from 152 patients with ADDE. Interventions: Participants were classified into four groups: control group (Group 1), 3% diquafosol group (Group 2), punctal plug insertion group (Group 3), and combined treatment group (Group 4). Main Outcomes and Measures: Average LLT (LLTave) was measured using a LipiView® II tear interferometer at baseline and one month after treatments.
The primary objective is to determine possible implications of deviant tear film quality for optimal refractive precision in patients scheduled for cataract surgery. The study consist of three separate arms where cataract patients will be separated in to Dry Eye Disease (DED) positive and negative groups. The DED positive group will be further subdivided into two different treatment groups (with focus on prolonged use of lubricant and preservative free eye drops). Tear film samples will be taken before treatment, after treatment and after surgical treatment and compared.
The main objective of our study is to evaluate the effect of eye drops with antioxidants on mild to moderate dry eye symptoms in patients with diabetic retinopathy, evaluating the levels of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress in the tear film. The researchers intend to include 78 patients, divided into three intervention groups, who will be randomly assigned an eye drop with antioxidants, where the patient must apply one drop in each eye for 1 month. In the study, the characteristics of the surface of the eye will be evaluated and tear samples will be taken from each eye, before and after the intervention with the eye drops. Subsequently, the clinical and sample results will be evaluated to compare the effects between them.
Dry eye disease is multifactorial, ocular inflammatory condition causing irritation, stinging sensation, uneasiness and blurring. Non-Sjogren syndrome occurs due to absent or dysfunction of lacrimal gland. Fat soluble vitamin D act as an agent against inflammation and its deficiency may result in various inflammatory diseases including dry eye. Purpose of this study is evaluation of vitamin D3 supplementation role in treating non-Sjogren dry eye along with conventional treatment by using artificial tears in patients with hypovitaminosis D. A prospective study was conducted in Rural health center(RHC) Buchal Kalan on 108 patients presenting with non-Sjogren dry eyes and low serum vitamin D levels. Patients were subjected to the following examination; best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit-lamp examination, applanation tonometry, fundoscopy, tear breakup time (TBUT) after fluorescein staining, Schirmer tear test, numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) score on day 0, 15, 30, 60 and 90. Vitamin D levels was assessed by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) based analyzer. The sample was randomly divided into two groups by non-probability purposive sampling. Group 1 received only artificial tears 4times/day while group 2 were given oral vitamin D3 supplementation of 6000 international unit (IU) daily along with artificial tears. Impact of oral vitamin D3 supplementation on non-Sjogren dry eyes was assessed by comparing means of ocular parameters of both groups over different period of time by using Mann-Whitney Test and Friedman Test.
