This trial tests a new type of antibiotic eye drop for people with serious eye infections that don't respond to standard antibiotics. It aims to see if these drops can safely treat the infection and help improve vision.
This trial tests if adding cyclosporine A to the standard natamycin eye drops can better treat fungal eye infections. It may help people with moderate vision loss from a fungal corneal infection.
This study tests whether a long-term antibiotic called moxifloxacin is safe and effective in reducing flare-ups for people with bronchiectasis (a lung condition that causes frequent infections). If you have had at least 2 flare-ups in the past year, this trial might help you manage your symptoms better.
This study is testing a steroid eye drop (fluorometholone) as an add-on to standard antibiotic treatment for bacterial corneal ulcers. The goal is to see if adding the steroid helps reduce inflammation and improves healing compared to antibiotics alone.
This trial tests whether a special antibiotic called Zimoxin, given inside the eye during cataract surgery, can help prevent serious eye infections. It's for people having cataract surgery and may offer extra protection.
This trial compares two antibiotics (levofloxacin and moxifloxacin) given as an injection into the eye during cataract surgery, to see which one is better at preventing infection. If you are having routine cataract surgery, this study may help decide which antibiotic works best.
