Effects Of Artificial Tears on Tear Lipid Films and Tear Film Dynamics In Vivo
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Systane Complete PF, Refresh Relieva PF, and 2 other interventions for Dry Eye. Completed, enrolled 81 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Dry eye disease (DED) is pervasive with some reports estimating over 16 million adults diagnosed in the United States. Currently, artificial tears remain an integral part of managing dry eyes and are mainly used for symptomatic relief. Recent studies have shown there may be therapeutic benefits with regular use of lipid-based artificial tears to improve the structure of the tear film, which may improve tear film stability and provide relief of symptoms. In this study the investigators propose to compare effects on the tear lipid film and its dynamics between 3 lipid based artificial tears and a widely available non-lipid based artificial tear.
