Treating Severe MGD in Children and Teens
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial studies a treatment for severe Meibomian Gland Disease (MGD) in children and teens. MGD affects the tiny oil glands in your eyelids, which can cause dry, irritated eyes. The goal is to find a safe and effective way to help young patients with this condition.
