Light therapy for dry eye: tear protein study
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 whether TearCare, a device that warms and massages the eyelids, can help young adults with dry eyes caused by blocked oil glands. The trial measures whether the treatment improves tear quality and 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 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.
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.
