Filter by:The purpose of this research is to the determine effect of dry eye and to compare the effect of artificial tears on central and peripheral corneal thickness.
The study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy of digital blue light blocking filter in improvement of clinical indices of dry eye and ocular symptoms related to dry eye. Introduction: Dry eye disease is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface caused by loss of tear film homeostasis resulting damage to the ocular surface and neurosensory abnormalities.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Diquafosol 3% in the management of dry eyes before and after cataract surgery. Patients with pre-existing dry eyes and planned for cataract surgery will be started on Diquafosol eyedrops prior to surgery and treatment will be continued after cataract surgery. Eligible patients will undergo evaluation of dry eye at baseline and subsequently started on treatment with Diquafosol for the duration of 4 weeks before surgery. Further evaluations will be conducted on the day of surgery and at designated time points during and up to 12 weeks after surgery.
Evaluate and study the immunologic changes to the ocular surface in cancer patients.
This study will evaluate efficacy and safety of systemic and ophthalmic probiotic from bacterial lysate of Lactobacillus sakei on microbiota, immunological and clinical outcomes of patients with Dry Eye Syndrome.
Assessing DEXTENZA efficacy and safety when placed within the lower eyelid canaliculus for dry eye flares in comparison to topical loteprednol suspension.
Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Two Concentrations (0.4% and 1%) of ALY688 Ophthalmic Solution in Subjects with Dry Eye Disease
A Randomized, Masked (Evaluator), Controlled, Prospective Pilot Study of the Effectiveness and Safety of the Tixel®, Versus LipiFlow® in the Treatment of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. Up to 30 patients (60 eyes) to be randomized in up to 2 clinical sites in Israel and/or Europe. study subject will receive three (3) treatments with Tixel in a monthly interval, and a single treatment for the control group. Follow-up will occur 1 month and 3 months following the last treatment.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 1% Pro-ocular topical gel administered twice daily for 12 weeks in treatment of Dry Eye Disease
This study wants to use a randomized, single-blind, controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of receiving acupuncture GB20 or GB20 plus BL2 on alleviating the ocular dryness symptom from dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome. One hundred dry eye syndrome subjects are composed of 50 dry eye syndrome subjects and 50 Sjögren's syndrome' dry eye subjects, and all are randomized into 40 Group GB20 and 40 Group GB20 plus BL2 (GBL), and 20 Group Waiting list; while we also include 20 healthy controls. Fifty dry eye syndrome subjects are randomized into 20 Group GB20, 20 Group GBL and 10 Group Waiting list in first year; while both Group GB20 or GBL received acupuncture twice a week 8 weeks for efficacy evaluation, and 10 Group Waiting list receive no any acupuncture treatment. And we could use the Whole-genome genotyping, oral microbiota, Schirmer's test, Tear breakup time, Cytokines, OSDI, TCM pattern, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tongue diagnosis, TCM pulse diagnosis, and TCM heart rate variability for this purpose. In second year, another 50 dry eye syndrome subjects are also enrolled and randomized into randomized into 20 Group GB20, 20 Group GBL and 10 Group Waiting list; while both Group GB20 or GBL received acupuncture twice a week 8 weeks for efficacy evaluation with above outcome measurements, and 10 Group Waiting list receive no any acupuncture treatment. Meanwhile, we also include 20 healthy controls, and we want to find the difference with the comparison between the dry eye syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome and healthy control in second year. Through the analysis for dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome, we could find the biomarker to differentiate dry eye syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome and healthy control. In the future, this work could be applied for screening and diagnosis of pre-dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome, and this integrated TCM with Western Medicine plan could be applied for the goal of holistic health care.
