iTear study for dry eye disease
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to treat dry eye disease using a device that stimulates tears. It may help if you still have dry eye symptoms despite using artificial tears.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have used artificial tears (eye drops for dry eyes) within the past 30 days.
- You have at least moderate dry eye symptoms, as measured by a standard eye discomfort questionnaire.
- Your tear production is low — a Schirmer test shows 10 mm or less of wetting in 5 minutes in at least one eye.
- You have not used a nasal nerve stimulator device in the past 30 days.
- You are not currently in another clinical trial for an experimental drug or device.

This study looks at proteins in your tears to better understand and treat dry eye disease. You may qualify if you have dry eye symptoms and certain test results show your eyes are not functioning normally.
This trial tests if mild electrical pulses on the ear can reduce dry eye symptoms. If you have had dry eye for at least 6 months and meet certain eye test results, this non-drug treatment might help.
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 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.
This study tests an eye drop to help stabilize the natural tear film on the surface of the eye. It may help people who have normal tear production but could benefit from better tear film stability.
This trial compares two different dry-eye eye drops to see which works better and is safe. You may be able to join if you’ve had dry eye for at least 3 months and meet specific eye-test results.
