Dry eye and diabetic macular edema in people with diabetes
Part of Eyes & vision, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people with diabetes who have a certain eye condition called diabetic macular edema (swelling in the back of the eye) also have more dry eye problems. It may help doctors understand the link and improve care for both conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- You have had diabetes for more than 8 years
- You can undergo eye imaging (OCT) and dry eye tests
- You have not had eye surgery, laser treatment for diabetes, or major eye trauma
- You do not have other eye surface diseases or advanced diabetic eye complications

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special eye imaging test called OCT angiography to look at tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye. It aims to understand changes caused by diabetic retinopathy, which could help improve how we monitor and treat this condition.
This study looks at how diabetes and eye inflammation are linked in people with diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina caused by diabetes). By studying fluid samples from the eye during cataract surgery, researchers hope to find new ways to treat or prevent this condition.
This study uses an OCT scan, a painless imaging test, to look for early signs of diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina caused by diabetes) in people who have no symptoms. It aims to detect problems early so they can be managed before vision is affected.
This study follows patients with diabetic eye swelling (a complication of diabetes affecting the macula, the part of your eye needed for detailed vision) who are receiving anti-VEGF injections—a standard treatment that reduces abnormal blood vessel growth. Researchers will measure how well your retina (the light-sensitive tissue in your eye) recovers and functions over time.
This study looks back at medical records of people with type 2 diabetes to understand how diabetic eye disease (retinopathy) progresses and when treatment is needed. It may help doctors better predict risks and guide future care.
This study observes how diabetes affects vision over time in people with diabetes. It helps doctors better understand eye health without any treatment or intervention.
