Omega-3, mite wipe, or eyelid scrub for children's eyelid bumps (chalazia)
Part of Cancer, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests three different ways to treat eyelid bumps in children, called chalazia. It compares an omega-3 supplement, a special eyelid wipe that targets tiny mites, and a warm compress eyelid cleanser over 8 weeks. Participation helps doctors find the most effective, simple treatment for kids.

This trial tests whether a special steam mask helps treat chalazion (a small lump on the eyelid) in children, compared to the usual warm compress. It's a simple home treatment that may be easier and more effective for kids.
This study tests whether intense pulsed light (a gentle light therapy) can safely and effectively treat a chalazion (a blocked oil gland on the eyelid) that is inflamed. It might help reduce the lump and speed up healing.
This study tests a treatment called TearCare for young adults with a common type of dry eye caused by blocked oil glands in the eyelids. TearCare uses gentle heat to help unblock those glands and improve eye comfort.
This study tests a new eye drop (oxymetazoline) to see if it can help lift droopy eyelids in adults. To join, you must have a certain amount of eyelid droop and some vision loss in your upper field of view, and you should feel that the droop bothers you enough to want treatment.
This trial tests the SUMMIT BRUSH to see if it helps treat blepharitis, an eyelid problem that can be linked to bacteria or tiny mites. It checks whether using the brush improves eyelid signs and symptoms in people who have specific visible findings on exam.
This study tests a medicated eye drop (lotilaner) to treat eyelid mite inflammation (Demodex blepharitis) in people who wear PROSE scleral lenses. It aims to see if the drops safely reduce symptoms like redness, itching, and blurry vision.
