Currently Enrolling Clinical Trials for Dry Eye:

Last Updated: September 23, 2021

• Safety and Efficacy of Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Insert (Dextenza®) in the Management of Clinically Significant Dry Eye - This clinical trial aims to see if a steroid-based eye insert will be effective in treating dry eye.  The researchers plan to insert a small pellet containing steroids into your eye, where it will slowly dissolve over the course of 30 days.  They want to see if this treatment is effective for dry eye.
• Comparing Treatment of Dry Eye With Intracanlicular Dexamethasone, Restasis, and/or Lotemax - This study wants to compare three treatments for dry eye: A steroid based eye insert (which appears to be the same as in the trial listed above), Lotemax steroid eye drops and Restasis.  This study may be a good way to get free medication for dry eye, as Lotemax and Restasis are currently prescribed medications that are commercially available.
• Senofilcon A Lenses in Moderate to Severe Dry Eye Disease - This study aims to see if a new type of contact lens can help with signs and symptoms of dry eye.  It seems like the lenses may be similar to scleral lenses and provide similar benefits.
