Active clinical trials for "Dry Eye Syndromes"

Evaluation of the effect of topical application of Tacrolimus 0.03% (FK506) eye drops versus Cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops in treatment of dry eye in Secondary Sjogren Syndrome.

A common first line treatment for patients with dryness symptoms or contact lens discomfort is the application of artificial tears or rewetting drops, respectively. Rewetting drops are specifically formulated for use with contact lenses while artificial tears are indicated for dry eye. Modern rewetting drops and artificial tears have similar formulations with similar preservatives, preservatives that have been shown to be compatible with contact lenses. While rewetting drops and artificial tears are regulated under different U.S. Food & Drug Administration policies, artificial tears are not specifically indicated for direct use with contact lenses. Nevertheless, clinicians commonly prescribe artificial tears to contact lens wearers likely because newer formulations of artificial tear have the potential to outperform available rewetting drops. The safety and efficacy of using artificial tears with contact lenses for the treatment of discomfort is supported by Caffery and Josephson and Ozkan and Papas who found that artificial tears significantly reduces dryness symptoms in contact lens wearers. Thus, the purpose of this study is to test the safety of directly applying a new artificial tear, Systane Complete, to the contact lens wearing eye and its ability to alleviate symptoms while wearing contact lenses during the day.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of HBM9036 Ophthalmic Solution versus placebo in the treatment of dry eye

To study the efficacy of an ocular bandage contact lens for the treatment of dry eye after cataract surgery

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of a new artificial tear formulation (011516X) with Systane® Ultra Multidose for 90 days in participants with Dry Eye Disease (DED).

Subjective and objective evaluation of the efficacy and tolerability of preservative-free "Ectoin® Eye Spray - Colloidal" and comparison of the efficacy and tolerability between "Ectoin® Eye Spray - Colloidal" and Tears Again® in patients with mild-moderate dry eye disease

Dry eye disease (DED) is a keratoconjunctive disorder that "is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to the ocular surface. The goal of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple ascending doses of palovarotene ophthalmic solution in healthy adult subjects.

This study is designed to evaluate the clinical utility and safety of the Visant Medical Canalicular Plug compared to a commercially available canalicular plug.

EYEdeal Scanning Technology enables rapid measurement of corneal and scleral topography. By accurately measuring the ocular surface with this imaging technology, the current iterative fitting method required to fit PROSE (prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem) devices could be replaced and/or strengthened with a more rapid, automated fitting sequence. This could considerably reduce the time needed per visit, the number of visits, and the number of devices needed to be manufactured to reach the endpoint. Additionally, the scanning technology may afford the opportunity to successfully fit some pathology that were previously treatment failures. The automated technology may as well reduce the intensive clinician training time needed to fit PROSE devices, therefore increasing the availability and access to patients. The goal of this research is to evaluate the reliability and efficacy of this automated technology for fitting PROSE devices. Data from real-time measurement of the human eye ocular surface topography will be used to fabricate a prosthetic lens. The fit of the PROSE device will be evaluated, as well as the subjective comfort of the fit.
