Study of eye-surface disease tests and targeted treatment
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how an “ocular surface” condition can be identified using tests (biomarkers) and how a targeted treatment may help. You may qualify if you’re an adult receiving eye care at specific University of Maryland locations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You visit the eye clinic at University of Maryland locations listed by the study
- You can read, understand, and sign the consent form
- You can and are willing to provide informed consent
- You do not have a prior eye surgery history (except refractive surgery or cataract surgery)

This trial tests an eye drop solution for people with chronic dry eye caused by graft-versus-host disease after a stem cell transplant. It aims to see if the drops can reduce eye discomfort and improve the eye surface.
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 tests new ways to diagnose glaucoma (and sometimes related eye conditions) using eye exams and measurements. It may help improve how doctors detect glaucoma earlier and more accurately.
This study collects samples like blood and a small skin biopsy (and sometimes urine, hair, or saliva) to better understand causes of eye diseases. The goal is to study eye conditions and may help researchers build better tests or treatments.
This study collects information and eye health data from people who have had cancer treatment, including stem cell transplants. It helps doctors understand how cancer therapies affect the eyes over time.
This trial is a general screening step for people who may have an eye (ocular) condition, or for family members of someone with an eye condition. The goal is to help match you to an eye research study by confirming your situation and whether you can safely participate.
