Filter by:The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate different inflammatory cells that accumulate on the ocular surface, during sleep, and how these cells may contribute to dry eye disease. This study will involve at-home self-collection of tears using an eye wash method with sterile saline solution. While a diagnostic technique, the eye wash may also have a therapeutic benefit in dry eye sufferers, which will be assessed in the second phase of this project.
This study will evaluate the increase in comfort and comfortable contact lens (CL) wear time associated with application of TrueTear (active intranasal neurostimulation) compared with application of TrueTear sham control (intranasal application which is not electrically active) in symptomatic CL wearers.
Dry eye complaints occur in 5.5 to 33.7% of the population, and are ranked as the most frequent symptoms of patients visiting ophthalmologists. Dry eye syndrome is caused by the reduced production and/or improper quality of the tear film. One of the causes of reduced tear production is Sjögren's syndrome. Sjögren's is estimated to affect up to 4 million patients in the US alone. It affects mostly middle aged women (40-50 years of age) with a female to male prevalence ratio of 9:1. The current study seeks to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LO2A ophthalmic solution in the symptomatic treatment of dry eye in patients with Sjögren's syndrome. This study will be conducted in compliance with the protocol, GCP,and applicable regulatory requirements.
An open label, randomized controlled study in a Norwegian population with meibomian gland dysfunction. Patients will be randomized to one of two groups: THERA°PEARL Eye Mask (Bausch & Lomb Inc., New York, USA) or Blephasteam® (Spectrum Thea Pharmaceuticals LTD, Macclesfield, UK). All patients will receive Hylo-comod (URSAPHARM Arzneimittel GmbH, Saarbrücken, Germany).
To study of a novel, therapeutic Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Product (HCT/P) in the treatment of severe dry eye disease that is failing conventional treatments. This pilot study will carefully observe and monitor each qualifying and willing individual for response to treatment, signs of toxicity and adverse effects from the treatment, and for ability of the treatment to improve comfort and restore vision.
Some patients with dry eye may have severe disabling neuropathic pain. They describe spontaneous pain, dysesthesia, hyperalgesia or even allodynia. It is classical to note an important discordance between the high intensity of the symptoms and the poverty of the clinical signs. These pains are often unrecognized and therefore often not sufficiently treated. A significant impact on patient's quality of life may occur. The concept of ocular neuropathic pain being relatively recent, few studies have focused on the subject at present. Our study aims to shed light on these pains in patients consulting for dry eyes at the Ophthalmological Foundation A. de Rothschild. The objective of our study is to describe precisely the characteristics of neuropathic eye pain and the visual, general and psychological repercussions in these patients.
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of CyclASol Ophthalmic Solution in comparison to vehicle for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of DED.
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.
