Filter by: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.
Ocular surface temperature of a normal person is around 34.6 degree centigrade. After instilling the eye drop, depending on the temperature of the eye drop and the ocular surface, the ocular surface temperature will temporally increase or decrease sightly. Warm feeling will make blood vessels dilated and more blood will pass through to bring more blood flow out of our body to the heated area of the body and makes cells more permeable. Therefore, heating the ocular surface with heated eye mask after instilling artificial tears has the possibility to improve drug permeability on the ocular surface.
Diquafosol ophthalmic solution (DQS) stimulates P2Y2 receptors on the ocular surface, which enhances mucin secretion from goblet cells. Therefore, tear film stability and hydration of the ocular surface can be achieved independent from lacrimal glands function. While it has been observed that 0.1 percent hyaluronate (HA) in artificial tears promotes corneal re-epithelium and improves corneal healing.This prospective, open label pilot study will include 60 eyes of 30 diabetic patients diagnosed with DED and will be randomly assigned to either DQS (n=30 eyes) or ATD group (n=30 eyes). Participants in the DQS group will receive 3% Diquafosol ophthalmic solution, while HA group will receive 0.1% Sodium hyaluronate artificial tears. The dosage for both drugs will be one drop, six times per day for 4 weeks. Tear film lipid layer (TFLL), non-invasive breakup time (NITBUT), corneoconjunctival staining score (CS), meibum gland (MG), conjunctival hyperemia (RS score), ocular surface disease index (OSDI) will be assessed and compared at baseline, day-14, and day-28.
Eyeliner is one of the most common eye cosmetics. The main ingredients are titanium oxide, pigment, grease and preservative. The user will apply the eyeliner to the eyelid and eyelash. With the blinking again and again, the components of the eyeliner may enter the tear film and continue to act on the eye surface. Therefore, the investigators suspect that the use of eyeliner may be an important factor leading to dry eye disease. In order to explore the relationship between the use of eyeliner and dry eye disease, the investigators plan to collect eye surface characteristic data of the two groups of people who use eyeliner and who do not use it.Then use Raman analysis to explore whether the use of eyeliner will lead to changes in tear composition.The investigators intend to analyze the difference of tear composition between the two groups to understand the relationship between the change of tear composition and tear film stability.So that the investigators can identify the risk factors of dry eye disease, and provide basis for prevention and early treatment.
The Aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of platelet rich plasma eye drops in the management of different corneal surface disorders. PRP is a blood sample with a concentrated platelet count, and numerous growth factors that are associated with conjunctival and corneal wound healing process. which is an important advantage over other products. PRP eye drops recently are proving to be an effective and potent therapeutic approach to promote corneal wound re-epithelization and promote ocular surface regeneration in different pathological conditions.
Diquafosol ophthalmic solution (DQS) stimulates P2Y2 receptors on the ocular surface, which enhances mucin secretion from goblet cells. Therefore, tear film stability and hydration of the ocular surface can be achieved independent from lacrimal glands function. This prospective, open label pilot study will include 140 eyes of 70 diabetic patients diagnosed with DED and will be consecutively assigned to DQS (n=140 eyes). Participants in the DQS group will receive 3% Diquafosol ophthalmic solution. The dosage of 3% Diquafosol will be one drop, six times per day for 4 weeks. Tear film lipid layer (TFLL), non-invasive breakup time (NITBUT), corneoconjunctival staining score (CS), meibum gland (MG), conjunctival hyperemia (RS score), ocular surface disease index (OSDI) will be assessed and compared at baseline, day-14, and day-28.
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)
This is a single center double-masked study with up to four visits. Subjects who have been diagnosed with dry-eye syndrome at Flaum Eye Institute will be enrolled. The purpose of the study is to determine if using platelet rich plasma drops can improve clinically significant dry eye in patients and determine if there is a difference with using two different uses of the plasma tear drops: platelet rich plasma tears and plasma tears without platelets.
