Recruiting studies
- NCT07453212Enrolling by invitation
Food supplement for dry eye caused by meibomian gland issues
This trial tests a food supplement designed to improve dry eye symptoms by targeting the microbiome. It may help if you have dry eye due to meibomian gland problems and are not using contact lenses or certain other eye treatments.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT03767530Recruiting
Warm or heat devices for eyelid oil gland blockage
This study tests heated devices to see if they improve dry eye caused by blocked meibomian (eyelid oil) glands. It may help if warm compresses and gentle eyelid massage didn’t work for you.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 18 years+ - NCT07224529RecruitingPhase 4
Vevye eye drops for blocked oil glands in the eyelids
This study tests if Vevye eye drops can improve symptoms of meibomian gland dysfunction, a condition where the tiny oil glands in your eyelids get blocked. It may help reduce dryness and discomfort.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06220474Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment for stubborn dry eye
This trial tests a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment for people with meibomian gland dysfunction (a type of dry eye) that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this therapy can safely help your eyes feel better.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06371300Recruiting
Red vs Blue Light for Dry Eye With Mites
This study tests whether a special light (photobiomodulation) using red or blue light can help people with dry eye that is caused by both blocked oil glands and tiny eyelash mites. You'd receive 3 treatments, and we'd check how your eyes feel for a month after.
AucklandAges 18 years+ - NCT06544447RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ear nerve stimulation for dry eye with blocked oil glands
This trial tests a gentle nerve stimulation device placed on the ear to see if it can improve dry eye symptoms caused by blocked oil glands. It may offer a new, drug-free option for relief.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07173530Recruiting
Low-level light therapy for dry eye & skin pigmentation
This study tests whether low-level light therapy can improve dry eye symptoms caused by blocked oil glands (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction). It also looks at how the treatment affects skin pigmentation under the eyes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07329712Recruiting
Light therapy for dry eye: tear protein study
This trial tests whether low-level light therapy can improve dry eye disease by measuring changes in tear proteins. It may help people with chronic dry eye who are interested in a non-drug treatment.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07606625RecruitingPhase 4
Nasal spray for dry eye disease and tear film stability
This study tests whether a nasal spray can improve dry eye symptoms and tear production in people with mild to moderate meibomian gland dysfunction (a common cause of dry eye). You'll use the spray daily while the research team monitors your eye health and comfort over several weeks.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06542276Enrolling by invitation
Single LipiFlow Treatment to Reduce Eye Drop Use
This study tests whether a single LipiFlow treatment (a warm compress machine for the eyelids) can help people with dry eye disease use fewer prescription eye drops. It may be a good option if you have been using drops like Xiidra or Restasis for a long time.
Dakota Dunes, South DakotaAges 25–65
