Measuring tear film thickness in dry eye disease
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares different ways of measuring the tear film layer (the oily coating on your eye) in people with dry eye disease. Understanding these measurements better may help doctors diagnose and treat dry eye more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with dry eye disease or have dry eye symptoms
- You are willing to have your tear film measured using different techniques
- You can attend study visits for eye measurements

This study tests an eye drop to help stabilize the natural tear film on the surface of the eye. It may help people who have normal tear production but could benefit from better tear film stability.
This study uses a special microscope to look at the surface of your eye to help doctors better diagnose dry eye disease. If you have dry eye symptoms or healthy eyes, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether artificial tears that contain lipids (fats) can better relieve dry eye symptoms compared to standard care. Participants use the study eye drops for a period and have their symptoms and eye health monitored.
This trial tests whether closing the eyelids changes the accuracy of a cornea measurement tool. It may help people whose cornea measurements are flagged as "warning" by the device.
This study tests an experimental eye drop for people with dry eye disease. It aims to see if the drops can reduce symptoms and signs of dry eye.
This research study aims to develop better ways to diagnose and manage dry eye disease in people who need cataract surgery. If you have dry eye or not, your participation will help create better care plans.
