Dry eye and diabetic eye swelling link study
Part of Eyes & vision, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks at the connection between dry eye disease and diabetic macular edema (swelling in the back of the eye caused by diabetes). If you have had diabetes for more than 8 years, this study may help understand if dry eye issues are linked to your eye health.
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 have an eye scan (OCT) and dry eye tests.
- You have not had any eye surgery or laser treatment in the past.
- You have not had serious eye injuries or other eye surface diseases.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests whether a substance called tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDCA) or a traditional Chinese medicine can help reduce swelling in the back of the eye caused by diabetes. It is for people with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema who have not had recent eye surgeries or changes in blood sugar or blood pressure control.
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 follows people with type 2 diabetes to understand how diabetic retinopathy (an eye disease caused by diabetes) changes over time without treatment. It may help if you have no other eye issues causing new blood vessels and are not planning for certain eye procedures.
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.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCT) to look for very early signs of eye damage in people with diabetes who have no vision problems yet. It aims to catch changes before symptoms start.
