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 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 trial tests whether artificial tears with lipids can better treat dry eye. If you have moderate dry eye and haven't used eye drops for 2 weeks, you may be eligible.
This study looks at proteins in your tears to better understand and treat dry eye disease. You may qualify if you have dry eye symptoms and certain test results show your eyes are not functioning normally.
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 trial tests a new VR device called Lacrima VR to see if it helps people with dry eye disease and meibomian gland dysfunction (a common cause of dry eye). It might be helpful if your dry eye symptoms have lasted at least 3 months and are moderate to severe.
