Impact of Breathing Exercises and Meditation on Quality of Life in Dry Eye Disease Patients: A Pilot...

DepressionQuality of Life3 more

People staring at computer screens for long hours, blinking less frequently, or having long-term contact lens wear are prone to dry eye disease (DED). DED is a multifactorial disease accompanied by inflammation of the ocular surface. Further, DED may degrade vision and is associated with depression and have an adverse impact on patient's quality of life. Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) incorporates standardized collection of breathing techniques followed by Automatic Self Transcending Meditation (ASTM) may help reduce stress, depression, and anxiety, enhance quality of life in patients diagnosed with DED. Thus, the investigators will be studying the effect of SKY plus ASTM on quality of life of DED patients. The investigators plan to conduct a single-center pilot RCT. Patients with DED will be randomized to SKY followed by ASTM plus Usual care (UC) or UC alone to assess changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL). HRQOL is a vital construct focusing on impact of health on quality of life. Along with HRQOL the investigators will measure changes in extent of depression and anxiety. Additionally, majority of current ophthalmic literature describes changes in clinical variables whilst lacking information on HRQOL. Thus, there is a high necessity to assess if there is an association between HRQOL and routinely measured clinical data. Through this study the investigators shall attempt to correlate HRQOL with clinical data.

Ocular Micro-vascular Research Base on Functional Slip Lamp Biomicroscopy

Dry Eye SyndromesInflammation1 more

Dry eye disease (DED), as one of the most common ocular surface diseases that affecting visual acuity, is highly associated with ocular surface inflammation. Until now, there is no accurate quantization index system to evaluate real-time ocular surface inflammation. Besides, an individualized therapy for ocular surface inflammation is also badly needed. As we all know, conjunctival congestion is one of the important clinical appearance of ocular surface inflammation. Hence, we suggest that several specific microvascular indexes could measure the change of ocular surface inflammation. Our program is aiming to investigate the correlation between inflammatory factors and blood flow velocity as well as microvascular distribution detecting from bulbar conjunctiva through our own devices and software.Futhermore, we tend to compare ocular surface microvascular indexes and microvascular distribution in normal people and dry eye patients in order to establish a database for Chinese people. By confirming the relationship between ocular surface microvascular indexes and ocular inflammation, we hope to set up new diagnostic criteria for ocular inflammation and an individualized therapeutic regimen based on ocular surface microvascular indexes. Finally, we want to establish a precision diagnostic and therapeutic pattern for dry eye disease.

Study of EBI-005 in Dry Eye Disease (DED)

Dry Eye

This is a randomized, double masked study designed to evaluate the safety of EBI-005 5 mg/mL topical ophthalmic solution given three times daily (TID) compared to vehicle-control over a one year period in subjects with dry eye disease (DED). Approximately 188 subjects will be enrolled to either EBI-005 or vehicle at up to 15 centers in the United States (US) and Canada.

CDSS of Traditional Chinese Medicine Intervention for Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry Eye Syndromes

This project is based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to screen the effective methods of traditional Chinese medicine intervention for dry eye and its applicable conditions, and optimize the traditional Chinese medicine intervention plan for dry eye through the evaluation of evidence-based medicine and expert consensus, and construct the Clinical Decision support system of traditional Chinese medicine intervention for dry eye, secondly, a real-world prospective cohort study design is adopted, the CDSS system is used in the ophthalmology clinic, and its practical application effect on patients with dry eye is evaluated.

Interest of Eye Movement Measurements in the Comprehension of Dry Eyes Symptoms

Dry Eye SyndromesBlinking

Dry eye syndrome is a benign situation however its impact on patient's quality of live and on health system is not trivial. One problem is the lack of correlation between patient's symptoms and physical sign observed on slit lamp examination. Eye blinking is a parameter of increased interest in this pathology particularly its frequency. To date no treatment of dry eye syndrome has a proven impact on eye blinking frequency. However recording of blinks has mostly been performed on short duration (3 to 5 minutes) and the distribution of intervals between 2 blinks is not gaussian but exponential. In this study, it is proposed to use modern eye-movement recorder to measure the blink frequency on longer duration (12 minutes) while reading on a screen computer and during a face-to-face interview before and after treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction responsible of moderate to severe dry eye syndrome.

Investigation on Medical Management of Dry Eye Patients

Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye is a common complaint in patients encountered by ophthalmologists, which may result from the inflammatory response and can occur in the absence of systemic disease. However, the management of dry eye syndrome in real setting warrants assessment but remains lacking in Taiwan. We conducted an perspective observational study to evaluate the medical management of dry eye patients.

Optimization of Assessment and Grading for Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy

Dry Eye

The purpose of this study is to assess eyelid margin staining, termed "lid wiper epitheliopathy" (LWE), in three populations. The hypothesis is LWE will be more prevalent in symptomatic contact lens wearers than non-symptomatic contact lens wearers and least prevalent in asymptomatic non-contact lens wearers.
