Filter by:Efficacy and Safety of the Ophthalmic Solution PRO-087 versus Systane ® Ultra and Systane ® Ultra Preservative Free on the Tear Film Dysfunction Syndrome from Mild to Moderate Clinical trial To evaluate the effectiveness of preservative-free ophthalmic formulation PRO-087 (by Laboratorios Sophia, S.A. de C.V.) to restore the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the ocular surface, as well as its distribution and the characteristics of the mild to moderate tear film dysfunction syndrome compared to Systane ® Ultra and Ultra Systane ® preservative free (by Laboratorios Alcon, S.A. de C.V.). Controlled, randomized, double-blind, masked clinical study, comparing the safety and efficacy of preservative-free PR0-087 vs Systane Ultra with preservative and Systane Ultra preservative free, in subjects with mild to moderate tear film dysfunction syndrome, for a period of 90 days plus 15 days of remote surveillance, in which one of the three agents will be administered (PR0-087, Systane® Ultra or Systane® Ultra preservative free) with a q.i.d. dosage. in both eyes, with regular follow-up visits (5 overall). Best-corrected visual acuity Intraocular pressure Ocular surface Anterior segment examination Posterior segment examination Tear film break-up time Schirmer test Corneal epithelization Goblet cells count Adverse events Subjects with a clinical diagnosis of mild to moderate tear film dysfunction syndrome between 18 and 90 years old, without concomitant eye diseases nor requiring different treatments of any of the three interventions in this study They will be randomized in 3 groups where PRO-087, Systane® Ultra o Systane® Ultra preservative free will be administered.
The objective of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of DE-089 ophthalmic solution in patients with dry eye disease in Taiwan.
With the potential to address evaporative dry eye, Liposic and Tears Naturale Forte have been developed in which phospholipid liposomes are delivered to the tear film via the surface of the closed eyelid. This study compare the effects of Liposic and Tears Naturale Forte application on the lipid and stability of the tear film in dry eye patients
This is an open label study of Optive eyedrops and gel combination for day and night dry eye management
Dry eye disease (DED) is a common condition that causes ocular discomfort and reduces visual acuity. The two categories of DED are evaporative dry eye and aqueous deficient dry eye. Both conditions can involve pathology of the meibomian glands, lacrimal glands, lids, tear film and surface cells. Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of evaporative dry eye and contributes to aqueous deficient dry eye. The goal of MGD therapy is to provide long term improvement of symptoms for patients by improving the quality of meibum, increasing meibum flow, improving tear film stability and decreasing inflammation. Commonly used therapies include preservative free drops, omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, topical cyclosporine, serum tears, topical azithromycin, oral doxycycline, moisture chambers, intraductal probing, lib margin exfoliation, automated thermal pulsation, warm compresses, among other. Despite this variety of symptoms, patients often do not experience complete or long term relief of symptoms. Forced meibomian gland expression (MGX) has been shown to be an effective method of rehabilitating meibomian glands and improving dry eye symptoms. The eyelid margins are forcefully compressed to express gland contents. Research has shown improvement in patient symptoms with the use of MGX. Intense pulsed light (IPL) have been used in dermatology to treat various conditions. Patients with DED who have tried other therapies and found no relief, often resort to IPL as a last resort. Research has shown IPL alone may be effective in improving patient symptoms. In addition, such studies have failed to show significant adverse events with the use of IPL. Here, we propose a prospective, randomized, case controlled clinical pilot study to examine the efficacy for both subjective and objective measures. 20 patients with DED will be recruited and will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: MGX alone or MGX with IPL. Objective measures will include tear cytokine levels, impression cytology, meibography, tear osmolarity and others. Subjective measures will include quality of life screening tools. We hypothesize that the use of MGX with IPL will lead to greater improvement in subjective dry eye symptoms and objective measures. Given the lack of adverse effects reported in the literature, we do not anticipate adverse effects in our study. Rochester staff Drs. Faustch and Bourne are providing clinical research advice but have no contact with subjects or biospecimens.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Rohto Dry-Aid® in comparison to Systane® Ultra on visual function and tear film stability in patients diagnosed with Dry Eye.
This study characterizes acute dry eye symptom control, assessed during exposure to a Controlled Adverse Environment, following use of the TrueTear for 45 days.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic activity of ADX-102 Ophthalmic Solutions and ADX-102 Ophthalmic Lipid Solution in subjects with dry eye syndrome.
The prevalence and incidence of dry eye syndrome (DES) is constantly increasing. Several therapeutic strategies have been proposed, but still no ideal regimen has been found. Recently, a new method for the non- invasive measurement of tear film thickness (TFT) based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been developed. It has been shown in previous studies that TFT correlates well with objective signs as well as with subjective symptoms of DES. In the present study the effects of three different topical lubricants (Neovis total multi®, Vismed multi® and Hydrabak® eye drops) on tear film thickness in patients with moderate to severe DES will be investigated using this device. Tear film thickness will be measured at baseline and at defined time points after single instillation. The course of tear film thickness during this study day will provide information about the corneal residency time of the three different eye drops. Patients with moderate to severe DES will be randomized to receive either Neovis total multi®, Vismed multi® or Hydrabak® eye drops. Assessment of lipid layer thickness of the tear film will be performed before and at pre-specified time points after instillation as secondary outcome. Other clinical measures for DES such as determination of tear film break up time (TFBUT), corneal fluorescein staining, Schirmer I test and subjective assessments will also be performed.
The aim of this study is to compare ocular symptoms and signs when the test nutraceutical formulation (combination of flaxseed oil, borage oil and fish oil omega-3 fatty acids) is consumed daily over a 3 month period, with a control capsule that contains polyethylene glycol (PEG), oleic acid and propylene glycol, which are found in many pharmaceutical products and are generally considered to be biologically inert and safe. There is good evidence that the consumption of oily fish has a protective effect against dry eye, and other studies have provided evidence of the beneficial effect of supplementation with omega-3 essential fatty acids in the treatment of dry eye disease. However, there have been limited well designed clinical trials investigating the potential for nutraceutical dietary supplementation to impact ocular comfort. To date, no controlled, randomised clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate the test nutraceutical formulation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-masked study to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with a combination of flaxseed oil, borage oil and fish oil omega-3 fatty acids on ocular comfort including signs and symptoms of dry eye.
