Filter by:Dry eye disease (DED), also called keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface characterized by loss of homeostasis of the tear film and accompanied by symptoms such as ocular discomfort and visual disturbance. Tear Film & Ocular Surface Society Dry Eye Workshop (TFOS DEWS) II recommends individualized management of DED based on the relative contribution of aqueous deficient and evaporative pathophysiology (to the extent that this can be determined), as well as disease severity. First-line for treating dry eye consists of over the counter (OTC) artificial tear drops, gels, ointments, or lubricants. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is one of the most common viscous polymers used in artificial tears to achieve prolonged residence time on the ocular surface. For these reasons, an interventional, non-comparative, single-center Post Marketing Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study was planned to evaluate the performance and safety of "Ocular drops based upon carmellose" used as intended to relieve dry eye symptoms. The objectives of the PMCF study are confirmation of the performance, collection of additional safety data regarding expected adverse events and detection of potential unexpected adverse events associated with use of "Ocular drops based upon carmellose" according the Instructions for Use (IFU). Each subject, after signing the Informed Consent Form, will enter the screening and baseline phase (the 2 visits will coincide) during which baseline procedures will be completed. At baseline visit (V0), one of the "Ocular drops based upon carmellose" products can be dispensed to the enrolled subject, depending on Investigator clinical evaluation and decision. The patient will perform 2 on site visits: V0 and V2/EOS. To monitor the safety, 1 phone contact is planned (V1) to check for potential adverse events and concomitant medications intake. The first administration and the intervals at which the treatment should be repeated, to be done as per Investigator judgment and according the IFU, depend on various factors regarding the physiology of the patients (e.g. type of eye-tear film, anatomy, age), their lifestyle (e.g. use of computer, wearing of contact lenses) and their eye-surgery history (if applicable).
Allergic conjunctivitis (or ocular allergy) and dry eye disease (DED) are two major ocular surface disorders affecting millions of people. A typical clinical symptom of allergic conjunctivitis is itching which is also observed in subjects suffering from DED. Common symptoms of DED also include a foreign body sensation, dryness, irritation, burning sensation and visual disturbance. Patients with allergic conjunctivitis or moderate-to-severe DED may experience a reduced quality of life due to ocular pain, difficulty in performing daily activities, and depression. Gel-based artificial tear supplements may offer longer retention times and act as a supplement to the mucin layer. Carbomer (also known as Carbopol polymers) is awater-soluble polymeric resin that exhibit excellent viscoelastic and mucoadhesive properties when compared with other polymers. Carbomer is used in liquid or semisolid pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and ophthalmic formulations as rheology modifiers. Aqueous carbomer gels have been used for the treatment of dry eye and allergic conjunctivitis as they provide prolonged ocular residence time of conventional ophthalmic solutions. Furthermore, carbomer has shown compatibility with many active ingredients, good thermal stability, excellent organoleptic characteristics, and good patient acceptance. For these reasons, an interventional, non-comparative, single-center Post Marketing Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study was planned to evaluate the performance and safety of "Optrex Double Action soothing and lubricating drops" for itchy and watery eyes. The objectives of the PMCF study are confirmation of the performance, collection of additional safety data regarding expected adverse events and detection of potential unexpected adverse events associated with the use of "Optrex Double Action soothing and lubricating drops" according to the Instructions for Use (IFU). Each subject, after signing the Informed Consent Form, will enter the screening and baseline phase (the 2 visits will coincide) during which baseline procedures will be completed. At baseline visit, "Optrex Double Action soothing and lubricating drops" will be prescribed to the enrolled subject. The patient will perform 2 on-site visits: V0 and V2/EOS. To monitor the safety, 1 phone contact is planned (V1) to check for potential adverse events and concomitant medications intake.
Tear dysfunction, also known as Dry Eye Disease (DED) is frequently encountered in the clinical practice. It is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface characterized by insufficient tear production, loss of homeostasis of the tear film, increased osmotic stress of the ocular surface, ocular discomfort and visual disturbance. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a linear heteropolysaccharide (glycosaminoglycan) with unique hygroscopic, rheological, and lubricating properties. HA is naturally found at the human ocular surface where it contributes to the ocular hydration and lubrication thanks to its capability to bind water molecules.Sodium hyaluronate (SH), the salt form of HA, is widely used in artificial tears to counteract dry eye symptoms by facilitating eyelid sliding and reducing its friction on the corneal-conjunctival surface. Conventional HA-based eye drops contain linear HA. However, artificially cross-linked HA (CLHA) has several advantages over linear HA in alleviating dry eye symptoms. The increased viscoelasticity of CLHA results in a greater stability and a better resistance to the enzymatic degradation by hyaluronidase, while preserving all the properties of linear HA. Furthermore, chemical cross-linking of HA extends its permanence on the ocular surface, thus reducing the number of instillations and increasing patients' compliance. For these reasons, an interventional, non-comparative, single-center Post Marketing Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study was planned to evaluate the performance and safety of "Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid (CLHA)-based eyedrops" used as intended to improve lacrimal abnormalities, even when associated with dry eye symptoms. The objectives of the PMCF study are confirmation of the performance, collection of additional safety data regarding expected adverse events and detection of potential unexpected adverse events associated with use of "Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid (CLHA)-based eyedrops" according to the Instructions for Use (IFU). Each subject, after signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF), will enter the screening and baseline phase (the 2 visits will coincide) during which baseline procedures will be completed. At baseline visit (V0), one of the "CLHA-based eyedrops" products will be administered to the enrolled subject. The patient will perform 2 on-site visits: V0 and V2/EOS. To monitor the safety, 1 phone contact is planned (V1) to check for potential adverse events and concomitant medications intake.
Dry eye disease (DED), also called keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common ocular condition characterized by a loss of homeostasis of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface. The typical symptoms of DED include irritation, discomfort, blurred or fluctuating vision. Over the counter (OTC) artificial tears are typically the first line of dry eye treatment; they are meant to supplement the tears that cover the eye's surface. OTC products mimic the different layers of the tear film in order to maintain ocular hydration. HA is found in higher concentrations in the vitreous humor of the eye, cartilage, and the synovial fluid. As a component of the tear film, HA increases the viscosity of the tear film and hydrates and lubricates the ocular surface. HA possesses intrinsic water retention properties, viscoelasticity, and favors the healing of corneal and conjunctival epithelium. For these reasons, an interventional, non-comparative, single-center Post Marketing Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study was planned to evaluate the performance and safety of "HA-based eyedrops" used as intended to relieve dry eye symptoms. The objectives of the PMCF study are confirmation of the performance, collection of additional safety data regarding expected adverse events and detection of potential unexpected adverse events associated with use of "HA-based eyedrops" according to the IFU. "Hyaluronic Acid (HA)-based eyedrops" are medical devices used as intended to improve the discomfort due to dry eye (for intrinsic and/or extrinsic causes), contact lenses wearing and/or eye surgery. Each Subject, after signing the Informed Consent Form, will enter the screening and baseline phase (the 2 visits will coincide) during which baseline procedures will be completed. At baseline visit (V0), one of the "Hyaluronic Acid (HA)-based eyedrops" products can be dispensed to the enrolled Subjects, depending on Investigator clinical evaluation, and severity of the disease. The patient will perform 2 on site visits (V0 and V2/EOS). To monitor the safety, 1 phone contact is planned (V1) to check for potential adverse events (AEs) and concomitant medications intake.
