An Observational Study of OPTIVE PLUS® for the Treatment of Dry Eye Disease
Dry Eye SyndromesThis is an observational study of OPTIVE PLUS® in patients with dry eye disease in a routine clinical setting. Treatment decisions are made by the physician and reflect the physician's current standard of care.
The Retention Rate Between Brand A and Brand B Punctal Plugs
Dry EyeThe purpose of this study is to determine if Parasol punctal occluders (Brand A) have a higher rate of retention than Superflex punctal plugs (Brand B).
Diurnal Variation of Tear Meniscus and Tear Osmolarity
Dry EyeThis study is to determine the diurnal variation of tear meniscus and tear osmolarity in normal subjects and dry eye patients.
The Influences of Dry Eye Disease on Optical Quality
Dry EyeVision; Disturbance1 moreDED could result in visual disturbance and damage optical quality. We aimed to evaluate the influences of dry eye disease (DED) on optical quality and their correlations.
Comparison of Evaporimetry With the Established Methods of Tear Film Measurement
Dry Eye SyndromesPurpose: To establish whether there is a correlation between dry eye symptoms, age and gender, a difference in symptom intensity in different times of the day, which test (Schirmer or TBUT) better correlates with dry eye symptoms, whether it is possible to reliably use cheap, easy to use hygrometer in everyday clinical setting, and finally whether there is statistically significant correlation between applied tests (TBUT, Schirmer and evaporimetry). Methods: Subjects: 45 in group without dry eye related symptoms, and 45 in group with symptoms. Examination included structured case history (questionnaire), slit lamp examination with fluorescein staining, periocular evaporimetry, TBUT test and Schirmer test.
Evaluating Patients With Eye Allergies and Determining if There Are Also Dry Eyes
Dry EyesAllergic ConjunctivitisEvaluating the percentage of patients that suffer from eye allergies and determining whether they also have dry eyes.
Diagnostic Evaluation of the Tear Film
Dry Eye SyndromesThe objectives of this study are to assess for a difference between normal and dry eye subjects in tear film quality using a diagnostic interferometry device and to determine whether there are associations between tear film quality and dry eye symptoms and signs.
Influencing Factors on Dry Eye Syndrome and Ocular Surface Disease
Dry Eye SyndromeOcular Surface DiseaseDry eye syndrome and ocular surface disease are very important ophthalmologic diseases. It is known that various inducers are involved. However, it is still necessary to study how influencing factors are related to dry eye syndrome and ocular surface disease and how treatment for dry eye syndrome and ocular surface disease is helpful.
Burden of Illness and Treatment Assessment of Patients With Dry Eye Disease: A Cross-Sectional Survey...
Dry Eye DiseaseThis study employed secondary database analysis of the Adelphi Dry Eye Disease (DED) Disease Specific Programme™ (DSP™), a templatized cross-sectional survey with retrospective data collection that is administered by Adelphi to a convenience sample of patients diagnosed with DED, and their consulting physicians in the United States. In addition to the survey data, the DED DSP also included recorded medical history data as reported by physicians (optometrists, ophthalmologists or refractive surgeons).
Assessment of Inflammatory and Functional Changes in the Ocular Surface Associated With Dry Eye...
Sjogren's SyndromeDry EyeThis project will examine the similarities and differences of the ocular surface and tear film in patients with Sjogren's syndrome related to dry eye, severe dry eye and those who do not have dry eye. This knowledge will help clinicians understand the processes that create these dry eye conditions and will strengthen the treatment and management strategies that will be used. The subjects will participate in a series of dry eye tests that they have already experienced in clinic, along with the gathering of tear samples and surface cells. These tissues will then be analyzed at a distant site.
