Testing serum tears for severe dry eye
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have a specific condition that causes dry eye, like Sjögren's syndrome, graft-versus-host disease, or certain other immune or nerve-related eye problems.

This study tests a new eye drop treatment made from your own blood serum for severe dry eye that hasn't improved with standard treatments. Researchers will analyze proteins in your tears to understand why this treatment works and who benefits most.
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.
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 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.
This study tests an experimental eye drop made from human platelets (blood cells that help healing) for people with moderate to severe dry eye. The drop is compared to a placebo (fake drop) to see if it improves eye comfort and surface health.
This trial tests whether eye drops made from your own blood (called autologous serum) can help heal dry eye or damage on the surface of your eye. If you have severe dry eye or a sore that won't heal on your eye's outer layer, you may be able to join.
