Dry Eye

This is a prospective, longitudinal, single-center study designed to evaluate the long-term changes in symptoms and tear production in subjects with dry eye disease. The study is randomized and investigator-masked, with subjects assigned to either the TRYPTYR (Acoltremon ophthalmic solution 0.003%) arm or the control arm (Refresh Classic Preservative-free). The study will be conducted at a single site, with subjects undergoing assessments at baseline and at months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12.

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-Masked, vehicle-controlled, multi-center study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 5% VVN001 Ophthalmic Solution versus vehicle in Chinese subjects with dry eye disease.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial, enrolling 842 subjects with moderate to severe dry eye, who will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive either 1% OT202 ophthalmic solution or vehicle control. The trial consists of screening, run-in, 8-week double-blind treatment period, and three long-term safety follow-up cohorts (10 weeks, 28 weeks, and 54 weeks), including 342 subjects for the 10-week follow-up, 350 subjects for the 28-week follow-up, and 150 subjects for the 54-week follow-up. Unblinding will be performed after the completion of double-blind treatment for all subjects, who will then receive open-label 1% OT202 ophthalmic solution uniformly. The co-primary efficacy endpoints are the change from baseline in Total Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score (TCSS) and Visual Analog Scale-Eye Dryness Score (VAS-EDS) at Day 56. Pharmacokinetic assessments will be conducted in 60 of the subjects assigned to the 54-weeks long-term safety follow-up. An interim futility analysis will be performed once approximately 30% of subjects complete the treatment period. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) will be utilized for efficacy statistical analyses. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of OT202 ophthalmic solution in the treatment of moderate to severe dry eye.

The objective of this study is to evaluate whether twice-daily use of Tyrvaya improves contact lens comfort in contact lens wearers.

This study aims to find out whether adding sodium hyaluronate, a moisturizing ingredient commonly found in artificial tears, makes autologous serum eye drops more effective for treating moderate-to-severe dry eye disease. Each participant will use one version of the drops in one eye and the standard version in the other eye. The goal is to see if the new combination provides better relief, comfort, and eye surface healing compared to the traditional formulation.

This study will evaluate whether full-spectrum screen bar lighting can reduce eye fatigue and dry eye symptoms after a standardized screen task. Prolonged screen use is common in daily work and study and may cause blurred vision, eye soreness, dryness, headache, and reduced attention. Light environment may be one way to improve visual comfort during screen use, but more controlled clinical evidence is needed. In this randomized, parallel-group controlled study, 112 healthy adult participants will be assigned to either a full-spectrum screen bar lighting group or a brightness-matched control group without screen bar lighting. Participants in both groups will complete an approximately 2-hour standardized screen task in a controlled laboratory environment. The study will compare changes before and after the task in objective and subjective measures of visual fatigue and dry eye, including critical flicker fusion frequency, visual fatigue questionnaire scores, eye movement and blinking parameters, pupil parameters, tear film-related measurements, and dry eye symptom scores. Safety and discomfort during the study will also be recorded.

Collecting data using Kera Sol tear usage during the initial two-week post-operative period after Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) has on the signs and symptoms of surgical temporary ocular discomfort syndrome (STODS)

Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial pathology of the ocular surface. Epidemiological studies report a prevalence of 15% in adults aged between 50 and 95. Depending on the severity of the disease, different treatment strategies may be proposed. The use of autologous serum eye drops (AS) represents an interesting therapeutic alternative for the most severe forms of the disease, due to the serum's composition, which is similar to that of tears. The mechanism of action of AS is still controversial, but is probably multifactorial and seems to be based on growth factors, vitamin factors and anti-inflammatory factors. The clinical response of patients could be dependent on the protein composition of the eye drops. The investigators are aiming to highlight a difference in serum protein composition that could explain the differences in clinical response between patients treated with autologous serum eye drops and to identify the proteins that would be involved in a clinical response or non-response.

This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of perfluorohexyloctane (PFHO) eye drops (Hengqin®, Chengdu Shengdi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) compared with 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops in patients with video display terminal (VDT)-associated dry eye. Participants aged 18-70 years with mild to moderate dry eye (confirmed by Chinese Dry Eye Expert Consensus 2020 criteria) who use video display terminal for more than 6 hours/day and at least 5 days/week for more than 1 year will be enrolled. A total of 159 subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the experimental group (PFHO eye drops, n=106) or control group (0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops, n=53), both administered 1 drop/eye, 4 times daily (3-5 hour intervals), bilaterally, for 8 weeks. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in fluorescein tear film break-up time (FBUT) at Week 8. Secondary endpoints include FBUT changes at Weeks 2 and 4, standard patient evaluation of eye dryness（SPEED） questionnaire score changes, total corneal fluorescein staining (tCFS), partial blink rate (PBR), non-invasive tear film break-up time (NIBUT), lipid layer thickness (LLT), meibomian gland secretion quality score, and This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of perfluorohexyloctane (PFHO) eye drops (Hengqin®, Chengdu Shengdi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) compared with 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops (Hialid®) in patients with video display terminal (VDT)-associated dry eye.

This prospective single-center study evaluates the effect of dry eye disease and short-term ocular surface treatment on the agreement and repeatability of corneal astigmatism measurements in patients with age-related cataract. Participants undergoing preoperative cataract evaluation are classified into a control group or a dry eye disease group according to ocular surface symptoms and objective tear film findings. All participants undergo ocular surface assessment and repeated corneal measurements using three commonly used devices: IOLMaster 700, Pentacam AXL, and iTrace Prime. Measurements include keratometric corneal astigmatism, total corneal astigmatism, and vector components of astigmatism. Patients with dry eye disease receive 0.3% sodium hyaluronate eye drops four times daily for 2 weeks, after which ocular surface assessment and device measurements are repeated. The primary objective is to determine whether dry eye disease reduces interdevice agreement and test-retest repeatability of corneal astigmatism measurements, and whether short-term ocular surface treatment improves measurement stability. Interdevice agreement is assessed using Bland-Altman analysis, and repeatability is evaluated using within-subject standard deviation, test-retest repeatability, and intraclass correlation coefficient.

Prospective, multicenter, randomized, vehicle-controlled, double-masked, study of CAM-101 topical ophthalmic solution compared to vehicle control followed by crossover to long-term follow-up open-label treatment with CAM-101 for one year.

This is a Phase 2 clinical study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 0.25% RCI001 Ophthalmic Solution compared with placebo in participants with dry eye disease. The study will enroll adults with dry eye disease. After a 2-week run-in period with placebo ophthalmic solution, eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 0.25% RCI001 Ophthalmic Solution or placebo ophthalmic solution in both eyes for 4 weeks. Study treatment will be administered either twice daily or four times daily, depending on the assigned dosing regimen. The main purpose of the study is to determine whether RCI001 improves the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease compared with placebo. The primary assessments include total corneal fluorescein staining and ocular discomfort at Day 28. Safety will be assessed through eye examinations, visual acuity, intraocular pressure, drop comfort, and adverse event monitoring.

The central hypothesis is that inflammation contributes to dry eye and that rinsing the palpebral conjunctiva, bulbar conjunctiva, and fornices will reduce the inflammatory burden on the ocular surface.

Dry eye disease is a major ophthalmic health issue that severely affects the visual function and quality of life of the national population. Its core pathological mechanism involves a vicious cycle of ocular surface inflammation and neural abnormalities; however, clinical practice still lacks an objective and quantitative gold standard for diagnosis. Although in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) enables cellular-level, in vivo observation of the ocular surface, image analysis remains heavily dependent on manual interpretation, highlighting an urgent need for an intelligent quantitative framework.This project aims to construct a high-quality, standardized ocular surface imaging database and develop a high-precision deep learning algorithm to achieve accurate segmentation and quantification of corneal nerves (including both whorl-like and linear patterns) and inflammatory cells, and to validate their associations with clinical indicators of dry eye disease. The ultimate goal is to develop and evaluate an IVCM-based multimodal intelligent diagnostic system for dry eye, transforming IVCM from an observational tool into an intelligent decision-support system, with real-world performance validated through an independent prospective cohort.This project is expected to establish a multimodal AI diagnostic model for dry eye, create a standardized computational framework for imaging biomarkers, and enable a paradigm shift from qualitative description to quantitative diagnosis. The findings will provide reliable decision-making support for precision subtyping and personalized treatment of dry eye disease, advancing ophthalmic practice toward a data-driven, intelligent paradigm.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of nasal spray treatment on Meibomian gland function and ocular surface health in symptomatic dry eye patients with mild to moderate Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Effectiveness will be assessed primarily by change in Tear Break-Up Time (TBUT), and safety will be evaluated by the incidence of device-related adverse events.

The primary objective of this study is the assessment of three tear substitute formulations in terms of postoperative discomfort following cataract extraction surgery by means of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation.

This study compares ocular lipid layer thickness (LLT) measurements obtained from three commonly used clinical diagnostic devices to evaluate their agreement and consistency. It further examines which device's LLT measurements show the strongest correlation with established clinical indicators of dry eye disease severity.

patients from a Neuro Ophthalmology who have dry eye, some of which have neurotrophic keratitis are being analyzed after treatment with Vevye

The bulk of dry eye patients are found in the community. The lack of satisfactory protocols and confidence is a significant deterrent for practitioners to manage such patients, which may result in inaccurate referrals, and unhappy patients. Problems are compounded by comorbidities of dry eye, even if these are not diagnosed formally. Aligning with the healthcare strategy to move beyond healthcare to health, and beyond hospital care to community care, investigators propose that the confidence of primary carers be increased by using an image-based screening system. This study aim to determine the efficacy of this screening AI algorithm, a prototype, in addition to or instead of screening of dry eye using a simple DEQ-5 symptom questionnaire.

This research study is to see if using Lacrifill is safe, easy to use, and helpful for people who wear contact lenses but can't wear them comfortably for long. Specifically, the study aims to determine whether regular use of Lacrifill over a 2-3 month period can help people wear their contacts longer without discomfort and reduce signs and symptoms of dry eye.

The goal of this study is to better understand how eye blinking behavior is linked to the stability of the tear film, in adults aged 18 to 65 years, with or without symptoms of dry eye. The main questions are: * Do the results of a New Blink Task reflect tear film stability ? * How are the blink related metrics in relation with each other? Researchers will compare two groups of participants-those without dry eye symptoms and those with dry eye symptoms-to see if blinking measures differ between them and whether these measures relate differently to tear film quality. Participants will: * Answer a questionnaire about dry eye symptoms * Have their visual correction measured (if they wear glasses) * Undergo non-invasive assessments of tear film quality using an imaging device * Complete three types of blink tasks, each repeated three times, including measurements of blinking and of tear film stability
