Healthy eye bacteria for dry eye treatment
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have moderate to severe dry eye (with symptoms like dryness, burning, and your tear break-up time is 5 seconds or less).
- You are willing to take standard dry eye medications and undergo the experimental transplant therapy.
- You do not have chronic diseases like diabetes or autoimmune disorders.
- You have not had eye surgery or worn contact lenses regularly.

This trial tests a food supplement designed to improve dry eye symptoms by targeting the microbiome. It may help if you have dry eye due to meibomian gland problems and are not using contact lenses or certain other eye treatments.
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 whether eye drops made from your own blood serum (with a natural lubricant) can relieve moderate-to-severe dry eye better than a standard salt solution. If you have dry eye from certain immune conditions or nerve damage, this may help find a more effective treatment.
This trial tests whether low-level light therapy can improve dry eye disease by measuring changes in tear proteins. It may help people with chronic dry eye who are interested in a non-drug treatment.
This study helps doctors find better ways to treat severe dry eye disease. Researchers will perform eye exams and ask questions to understand your condition better and optimize your care.
This study tests whether RCI001, a new eye drop treatment, can help people with dry eye disease. If you've had dry eye symptoms for at least 6 months and are interested in trying a new treatment, this trial may be for you.
