Filter by:A single center randomized controlled trial on managing dry eye signs and symptoms in patients using anti-glaucoma eye drops.
This study aimed to evaluate the validity of the Chinese translation version of OSDI-6 (C-OSDI-6) in a theoretical set-up of two questionnaire groups for dry eye
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of applying androgen sex hormone (i.e., testosterone) gel on the eyelids in the treatment of dry eye patients. Several studies have demonstrated positive treatment effects in dry eye, but few have applied testosterone gels to the eyelids.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of preventive therapy with diquafosol sodium 3% compared to sodium hyaluronate 0.1% to prevent dry eye disease in patient who will undergo cataract surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The percentage reduction in subjective symptoms and signs of dry eye disease after cataract surgery. - The differences in the use of diquafosol sodium 3% and sodium hyaluronate 0.1% in improving dry eye disease signs in patients objectively. - The tear osmolarity and matix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) after the treatment. - The difference in visual quality improvement assessed from higher order aberrations (HOA) and contrast sensitivity after administration of diquafosol sodium 3% compared to sodium hyaluronate 0.1%. Participants will receive diquafosol sodium 3% or sodium hyaluronate 0.1% for 4 weeks before the cataract surgery and 21 days after the surgery, and will be: - Interviewed regarding their identity, history of illness, and symptoms of dry eye disease. - Examined by researchers: eye condition, contrast sensitivity using the Pelli-Robson diagram, keratograph, HOA, tear osmolarity, MMP-9, corneal sensitivity, tear break up time (TBUT) , fluorescein break up pattern (FBUP). This examination will be carried out 4 times: on the first day before the research series, four weeks after giving therapy before cataract surgery, 21 days after cataract surgery, and 90 days after cataract surgery.
A Phase II, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of EG017 Ointment for the Treatment of Dry Eye in Postmenopausal Women
The goal of this retrospective study is to evaluate the historical effectiveness of Riboflavin-Enhanced Hyaluronic Acid Eye Drops (HAr® 0.1%) in the treatment of Dry Eye Disease (DED) among patients. The product under investigation, Ribohyal®, had previously obtained certification and authorization from the relevant notified body for market sale (European patent n. 2228058) The primary questions it aimed to address were: - Did the use of Riboflavin-Enhanced Hyaluronic Acid Eye Drops result in a reduction of dry eye symptoms and an improvement in ocular comfort among patients with DED in a historical context? - Was Riboflavin-Enhanced Hyaluronic Acid Eye Drops historically more effective in reducing photophobia and enhancing tear film stability when compared to standard treatment? Participants in this retrospective analysis had historically: - Used either Riboflavin-Enhanced Hyaluronic Acid Eye Drops or a standard hyaluronic acid eye drop, based on their assigned group. - Historically reported their levels of ocular discomfort and photophobia at specified time points. - Undergone historical clinical examinations to assess tear film stability and osmolarity. Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis to compare the historical outcomes of the group using Riboflavin-Enhanced Hyaluronic Acid Eye Drops with the group using standard eye drops to determine if the former historically provided more significant improvements in dry eye symptoms and tear film stability.
Strip meniscometry is a relatively new method for evaluating the tear meniscus. The aim of the study is to evaluate the possible effect of cataract surgery on ocular surface disease and to assess the possible benefit of strip meniscometry in the preoperative and postoperative evaluation of patients.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of applying pulse Electrical Stimulation around eye after laser keratoplasty (LASEK) in patients with dry eye syndrome.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Quantum Molecular Resonance (QMR) treatment in patients with severe dry eye disease (DED), as well as its effects on aqueous-deficient (ADDE), evaporative (EDE) and mixed (MDE) dry eye.
Dry eye disease (DED) is the most prevalent ocular surface disease worldwide. Standard treatments like artificial tears show limited effect. Regarding the ultrasonic atomization, the ultrasonic nebulizer produces consistent steam from the solution with a treatment effect delivered to the ocular surface. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) ultrasonic atomization as an adjuvant treatment for DED. This is a randomized double-masked, active- and placebo-controlled trial. 200 subjects will be equally assigned to the herbal compound decoction(CD) group, dendrobium caulis (DC) group, houttuynia cordata (HC) group, placebo atomization(PA) group, and artificial tear (AT) group by stratified permuted block randomization. Subjects of CD, DC, HC, and PA groups will receive TCM ultrasonic atomization treatment (6 times/week). All patients will receive hypromellose 0.3% w/v lubricant eye drops for a 1-week wash-out and a 4-month follow-up period. Outcomes included non-invasive tear break-up times, corneal and conjunctival fluorescein staining, and other dry eye-related parameter examined by LipiView II Ocular Surface Interferometer, OCULUS® Keratograph 5M, and slit lamp biomicroscope evaluated by masked clinical assessors at baseline, week 1, 2, 3, 4 and month 2, 3, 4. The other subjective questionnaires like the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire are also selected.
