Active clinical trials for "Dry Eye Syndromes"

The prevalence and incidence of dry eye syndrome (DES) is constantly increasing. Several therapeutic strategies have been proposed, but still no ideal regimen has been found. Recently, a new method for the non- invasive measurement of tear film thickness (TFT) based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been developed. It has been shown in previous studies that TFT correlates well with objective signs as well as with subjective symptoms of DES. In the present study the effects of three different topical lubricants (Neovis total multi®, Vismed multi® and Hydrabak® eye drops) on tear film thickness in patients with moderate to severe DES will be investigated using this device. Tear film thickness will be measured at baseline and at defined time points after single instillation. The course of tear film thickness during this study day will provide information about the corneal residency time of the three different eye drops. Patients with moderate to severe DES will be randomized to receive either Neovis total multi®, Vismed multi® or Hydrabak® eye drops. Assessment of lipid layer thickness of the tear film will be performed before and at pre-specified time points after instillation as secondary outcome. Other clinical measures for DES such as determination of tear film break up time (TFBUT), corneal fluorescein staining, Schirmer I test and subjective assessments will also be performed.

Prospective controlled pilot study to compare the outcome of ProKera® (PK) and conventional treatment in patients with moderate to severe Dry Eye Disease (DED)

The objectives of this study are: To compare the change in levels of tear proteins and inflammatory mediators pre and post administration between the intranasal and extranasal applications To compare the goblet cell count following application between the intranasal and extranasal applications To compare fluorescein tear clearance with the application of the device intranasally and extranasally applications

Efficacy of T2769 in Dry Eye Desease

The purpose of this study is to compare the performance and safety of T2259 versus Vismed Multi in dry eye patients with superficial keratitis.

The purpose of this study is to refit habitual wearers of daily disposable contact lenses who currently experience symptoms of dry eye and discomfort during lens wear with a different type of daily disposable contact lens. Ocular signs and symptoms of dry eye will be assessed following the guidelines outlined by the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society (TFOS) in the Dry Eye Workshop II (DEWS II). The performance of the habitual contact lenses and the study lenses will be determined using different optometric assessments. Study lenses will be worn for one month following a daily disposable wear schedule.

To evaluate the effects and safety of the steam eye mask with acupoints stimulation by the moist heat of approximately 40 degree C for 20 minutes and massage acupoints on eyebrows for eye fatigue, dry eye symptoms and symptom-induced decline of Quality of life (QoL) in VDT users.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KCT-0809 compared to placebo in patients with dry eye syndromes.

Dose response related to efficacy and safety of DE-089 ophthalmic solution are examined in patients with dry eye, using a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group comparison study, and the optimal concentration is determined.

A study which participants with mild to moderate dry eye disease will have a punctum of one eye injected with 0.1ml Restylane Defyne and the other eye injected with 0.2ml Restylane Defyne. Participants will be evaluated over four visits.
