Test tear fluid and eye chemistry patterns in eye surface diseases
Part of Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny chemical patterns in tear fluid to better understand different causes of eye surface problems. Your participation may help researchers compare healthy eyes with conditions like dry eye, infections, or allergies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at tiny particles called exosomes and genetic material (miRNA) in tears and blood to better understand dry eye and Sjögren's syndrome. It may help find new ways to diagnose or treat these conditions.
This study looks at how a specific eye-surface marker (EMMPRIN) changes on the surface cells in people with severe dry eye. It may help researchers understand disease severity and how new treatments could work for severe symptoms.
This study evaluates a new computer-assisted imaging system that uses specialized microscopy to help diagnose dry eye disease. Researchers need both healthy volunteers and people with dry eye symptoms to test how well the system works.
This trial looks at how changes in the eye’s normal germs (microbiome) and the immune response may relate to dry eye. It may help researchers better understand what drives symptoms and how to improve care.
This study looks at how iron levels in tears relate to the severity of dry eye disease. It aims to find a simple way to measure dry eye severity, which could help doctors better understand and treat the condition.
This study looks at substances (“biomarkers”) in the clear fluid inside the eye to better understand several eye conditions that affect vision. Your results may help doctors learn how these diseases work and how treatments might be chosen.
