View clinical trials related to Dry Eye Syndrome.
Filter by:Dry eye is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to the ocular surface. It is accompanied by increased osmolarity of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface. Lubricin is a mucin-like glycoprotein originally discovered in synovial fluid, as a secreted product of cells that line the joint tissues, which is present at the surface of articular cartilage and it has been investigated on its roles at the ocular surface, in normal and pathologic conditions such as dry eye. The objective of the study is to assess the tolerability, safety and efficacy of Lubricin eye drops solution administered over 4 weeks versus sodium hyaluronate (Na-HY) eye drops solution in subjects with moderate dry eye.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HE10 eye drop for the patients with moderate to severe dry eye syndrome.
The aim of this pilot study is to compare the analgesic effect of two strengths of SYL1001 eye drops versus placebo in patients with ocular pain associated with Dry Eye Syndrome. General and local tolerability are also evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical benefits of SYSTANE® ULTRA Lubricant Eye Drops using total ocular surface staining scores in subjects with dry eye administering it either as a scheduled regimen or as-needed after 28 days of treatment.
The investigators aim to assess the effect of blepharoplasty with or without muller muscle resection on the symptoms of dry eye syndrome. this will be an observational study in which patients undergoing the aforementioned surgeries will be followed up and monitored for dry eye symptoms.
Subjects with moderate-to-severe Dry Eye by symptoms will be screened including history, ophthalmic examination to include the status of their ocular structure and function and evaluation of tear production. Blood will be blood drawn for complete blood count and chemistry panel. They will also have a urinalysis and pregnancy test in women of child-bearing potential. Subjects will have a two week "run-in" period in which they use artificial tears. If their Dry Eye signs and symptoms do not improve significantly, they will be enrolled and will receive study drug. Safety evaluation includes assessment of the structure and function of the eyes including retina examination and corrected visual acuity. Subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms, ST266 or "artificial tears" eye drops. The randomization scheme is 1:1 ST266:artificial tears. Subjects will self-administer their eye drops four times each day. Subjects will be seen in the office of the ophthalmologist/optometrist at baseline (week zero), one week, three weeks, six weeks and ten weeks. Eye examination will be done at each visit. The baseline eye tests and lab work will be repeated after the treatment phase of the study at the end of week six. Following 6 weeks of treatment, the subjects will be followed for 4 additional weeks.
The objective of the Phase 2 study is to compare the safety and efficacy of cis-UCA Ophthalmic Solutions to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.
To evaluate the use of a point of care device to measure markers of inflammation in various eye conditions. In particular, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) will be measured. MMP-9 is an enzyme that plays a role in inflammation. The value obtained with the point of care device will be correlated with values obtained using gel electrophoresis to measure MMP-9 from the same sample. These data will be compared to clinical exam findings and questionnaires to help the investigators better understand the role of this marker of inflammation in eye diseases and possibly improve diagnostic abilities.
The primary objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of different doses of rhNGF when administered as eye drops to patients with dry eye.
The objective of the study is to see if there is a change in tear osmolarity over time when moderate to severe dry eye subjects are treated with TheraTears® lubricating drops.
