Light therapy for dry eye: tear protein study
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.

This study tests whether low-level light therapy can improve dry eye symptoms caused by blocked oil glands (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction). It also looks at how the treatment affects skin pigmentation under the eyes.
This study tests a treatment called TearCare for young adults with a common type of dry eye caused by blocked oil glands in the eyelids. TearCare uses gentle heat to help unblock those glands and improve eye comfort.
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 study uses a special microscope to look at the surface of your eye to help doctors better diagnose dry eye disease. If you have dry eye symptoms or healthy eyes, you may be able to join.
This study tests an experimental eye drop for people with dry eye disease. It aims to see if the drops can reduce symptoms and signs of dry eye.
