Eye microbes in dry eye after LASIK
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at the bacteria and other microbes on the eye's surface in people who develop dry eye after LASIK surgery. It aims to understand how these microbes change and may help improve future treatments for dry eye after LASIK.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether putting healthy bacteria from a family member's eye surface onto your eyes can help treat moderate to severe dry eye. You would receive standard dry eye drops plus the experimental transplant.
This study looks at how leftover lens material after SMILE eye surgery might affect tiny vision imperfections. It aims to help people with nearsightedness get clearer, sharper results.
This study tests whether a new eye lubricant called Miebo, given before LASIK vision correction surgery, reduces dry eye symptoms afterward. If you have mild-to-moderate dry eyes and need LASIK, this trial may help you stay more comfortable during your recovery.
This trial tests if Kera Sol Tears eye drops can reduce eye discomfort after LASIK surgery. If you are planning to have LASIK, this study may help you feel better during recovery.
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 trial tests whether a 3% diquafosol eye drop or a 0.1% hyaluronic acid eye drop works better for dry eye symptoms that started after LASIK surgery.
