Comparing two eye drops for moderate to severe dry eye
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two preservative-free eye drops, Artelac Complete MDO and Vismed Multi, to see how well they work and how safe they are for people with moderate to severe dry eye disease. If you have dry eye due to certain conditions (like Sjögren's syndrome) and standard eye drops haven't fully helped, this study may be an option.

This study tests an investigational eye drop called OT202 to see if it helps people with moderate to severe dry eye. If you join, you'll receive either the study drug or a placebo (no active ingredient) and have your symptoms and eye health monitored for several months.
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.
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 tests a new eye drop called PRO-190 to see if it's safe and comfortable for the eyes, comparing it to a common artificial tear (Systane Ultra). It is for healthy people and may help if you have dry or irritated eyes.
This study tests two types of preservative-free eye drops to see which is more effective for people with mild to moderate dry eye disease. You will use one of the drops as directed, and the study will monitor your symptoms and eye health over time.
This study tests whether a new eye drop works as well as two other eye drops for people with moderate to severe dry eye caused by meibomian gland issues. If you qualify, you'll use one of the three drops and have your eye health checked over time.
