Role of Corneal Nerves in Dry Eye Disease
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how the nerves in the front of the eye (corneal nerves) relate to dry eye disease. It compares people with dry eye to those without to understand differences.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must either have dry eye disease or be a healthy volunteer without it.
- You should not have any other health conditions that affect your eyes or nerves.
- You cannot have had eye surgery or an eye injury in the past.
- You must not use regular eye drops or medications (other than dry eye treatments) that affect your tears.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new eye drop called DFL24498 to see if it helps people with dry eye disease. You may qualify if your dry eye is moderate to severe and other treatments haven't worked well for you.
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 whether practicing Baduanjin (a traditional gentle exercise) or laughter exercise, combined with artificial tears, helps dry eye disease better than artificial tears alone. You'll be randomly assigned to one of three groups for 3 months.
This study tests whether over-the-counter lubricating eye drops can improve dry eye symptoms and eye comfort. It compares the drops to no treatment to see how well they work.
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 study tests a new eye drop formula to see if it safely improves dry eye symptoms. It may be a good option if you have been diagnosed with dry eye and have limited tear production.
