Oral Omega-3 Fatty Acids in the Treatment of Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry Eye SyndromeThe investigators hypothesize that oral omega-3-acid ethyl esters (Lovaza, GlaxoSmithKline, Research Triangle Park, NC) will decrease dry-eye related symptoms as well as clinical markers associated with dry eye disease (Schirmer-1 test values, positive vital staining with lissamine green, and fluorescein tear break-up time) when compared to administration of placebo.

Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Study of the Effect of Lotemax on Initiation of Dry Eye Treatment...
Dry Eye DiseaseKeratoconjunctivitis SiccaTo evaluate the impact of Lotemax on the initiation of Restasis therapy in patients with dry eye. It is hypothesized that the anti-inflammatory activity of Lotemax may help mitigate the stinging with cyclosporine administration and the dry eye signs and symptoms experienced during the initiation of therapy.
Paralysis of the Orbicularis Muscle of the Eye in the Treatment for Dry Eye
Dry Eye SyndromesThis is a prospective, comparative, contralateral eye study. Patients older than 18 years who have had treatment with topical lubricants for at least 1 month and persist with symptoms of dry eye and corneal staining with fluorescein were included. Patients with dry eye attributable to abnormalities of the eyelids, nasolacrimal obstruction and active corneal infection, as well as patients with severe dry eye were excluded from the study. One eye randomly received a subcutaneous injection of botulinum toxin in the medial part of the lower eyelid, and the other eye received a similar procedure with placebo. The subjective evaluation was achieved with a questionnaire assessing symptoms of dry eye and conjunctivitis, quality of vision and ocular comfort level each eye separately. The objective evaluation included the measurement of the tear film break up time, Schirmer's test and with a modification of the Oxford grading scheme for corneal and conjunctival staining.

Evaluating the Efficacy of Dry Eye (DE) Disease Treatment Using Novel Tear Film Imager (TFI)
Dry Eye DiseaseDry Eye disease signs and symptoms are reduced in patients who receive topical steroids and topical hyaluronic acid. AdOM's Tear Film Imager measurements are reproducible and it can diagnose the dry eye disease state in a single, non-invasive measurement. The Tear Film Imager can provide objective accurate measurements of the dry eye treatment effectiveness.
Computer Screen Properties Study
Dry Eye SyndromesThe purpose of this study is to identify how various popular methods of changing computer screen settings affect dry eye symptoms (eye pain, grittiness, tearing, burning, etc.). Specifically, this study will examine if there are differences in effects of blue light blocking (F.lux app or night shift) versus reducing screen brightness on the symptoms of dry eye.
