View clinical trials related to Dry Eye Disease.
Filter by:The goal of this interventional investigation is to compare BUFY02 with TRB02 in the treatment of patients with dry eye disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is BUFY02 non-inferior to TRB02 in terms of signs of DED? - Is BUFY02 non-inferior to TRB02 in terms of symptoms of DED? Participants will be asked to: - Visit the trial site at 4 different timepoints - Use the allocated study treatment everyday until the end of the study (during 3 months) - Be examined by the investigator - Complete several questionnaires - Return unused study treatment. Researchers will compare BUFY02 to TRB02 to see if both study treatments provide similar effects on signs and symptoms of the disease, together with comparable safety.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the preliminary safety and effectiveness of Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Exosome (PSC-MSC-Exo) Eye Drops in the treatment of dry eye diseases post refractive surgery and associated with blepharospasm
This study aims at demonstrating the non-inferiority of Idroflog compared to sodium hyaluronate 0.18% for the disease improvement of people with documented history of dry eyes and use of tear substitutes for at least 3 months.
A Randomized, Controlled, Double-Masked, Two-Arm Investigator-Initiated study to Assess the Efficacy of OC-01 (varenicline) Nasal Spray on signs and symptoms of Dry Eye Disease in subjects following Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL)
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.
Ocular surface disease (OSD), particularly dry eye, is one of the most common conditions seen by ophthalmologists. Dry eye (DE) is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear instability. DE significantly reduces quality of life and affects 5-30% of the population. As the proportion of individuals over age 60 increases because of greater life expectancies, we can anticipate the number of people with dry eye will also increase, which represents a major challenging for aging societies, like the Chilean one. In the last few years clinical research on OSD is being intensely focused on diagnostic criteria, treatment strategies, methods used in diagnosis and better correlations between symptoms and clinical test results. All these lines of interest aim to improve the understanding of alterations and consequences occurring in the ocular surface disorders. Diagnostic testing is greatly valuable both for the detection of early changes due to DE and also to grade the severity of surface disease. The most commonly performed tests include the Schirmer test, tear break up time (TBUT), and ocular surface staining. However, newer point-of-care diagnostics tests such as tear osmolarity and matrix metalloprotease-9 (MMP-9) have been shown to have a high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing ocular surface dysfunction. Given that ocular surface dysfunction has been shown to have an adverse impact on visual function and can worsen after surgery, it is critical to identify and address any tear film and ocular surface abnormalities before cataract surgery. In the setting of preoperative cataract surgery planning, DE disease and meibomian gland dysfunction can impair critical refractive measures such as keratometry values worsening surgical outcomes. To the best of our knowledge there are no ongoing or published studies that have evaluated DE and OSD as evidenced by either an abnormal tear-film parameter (elevated MMP-9 or abnormal osmolarity), or corneal surface and meibography evaluation findings (using novel non-invasive technology) in patients previous and after cataract surgery.
This prospective study will use a self controlled design for 35 eyes. Patients scheduled to undergo routine cataract surgery in at least one of their eyes will have their pre-surgical measurements performed, IOL calculated and surgery planned. Then they will receive insertion of an intracanalicular dexamethasone insert into the inferior punctum. At 2 weeks (+/- 2 days) post-insertion, patients will return for an identical set of measurements. The IOL will be calculated and the surgery planned based on post-insert data. The insert will be removed if present (manually or via saline irrigation). This self controlled design allows for greater control of potential confounders tied to participants' systemic and ocular health.
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of at home thermal therapy with a wireless, portable device, as an effective management of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. This will be done by assessing patients for improvement in symptoms and ocular oil gland function after 4 weeks of a daily thermal therapy application.
