How Xibrom Affects Patients

Bromfenac ophthalmic solution is an eye drop that contains a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to reduce inflammation in the eyes.

How Xibrom works in the body

Acetazolamide works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are inflammatory molecules. In animal studies, prostaglandins have been shown to cause swelling, leakage of blood vessels, and increased pressure in the eye. Blocking their production can reduce these effects.

Acoltremon for Dry Eye Syndrome

18+
All Sexes
Tampa, FL

This study is designed to provide clinical data on how acoltremon ophthalmic solution 0.003% affects tear production and ocular symptoms in participants with tear deficiency and concurrent neuropathic corneal pain. Acoltremon is formulated to help increase natural tear production by activating TRPM8 (Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 8) receptors on cold-sensitive corneal nerves. It is thought that this study treatment may help participants by increasing tear production while potentially reducing neuropathic ocular symptoms, including pain and discomfort. Participants will be followed for 8 weeks, evaluating the mean change in unanesthetized Schirmer test score between 3 minutes post-drop at Week 8 compared to pre-drop at baseline (Day 1), change in neuropathic symptom intensity as measured by a 0-10 VAS (Visual Analog Scale) from baseline to Week 8, and change in quality of life as assessed by the Ocular Pain Assessment Survey (OPAS) from baseline to Week 8. The study will also evaluate changes in corneal nerve structure, nerve function, corneal sensitivity, ocular surface symptoms, and treatment satisfaction.

Lacrifill for Dry Eye Syndrome

18 - 80
All Sexes
Pittsburg, KS

Dry Eye Disease is defined as "a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to the ocular surface. It is accompanied by increased osmolarity of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface.' 'By the The Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society. Despite there being a number of factors that impact DED however one factor that has been considered likely is that of a complication from ocular surgery itself. Which can cause both corneal nerve, and ocular surface damage. Therefore this study aims to determine how Lacrfill performs in preventing post-operative dry eye symptoms in those who have recently had unilateral cataract surgery.

Vision Centers for Eye Care

Any Age
All Sexes
San Francisco, CA

This cluster-randomized trial aims to evaluate the effect of vision centers on access to eye care and eye health outcomes in South Asia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do vision centers improve effective refractive error coverage? 2. Do vision centers increase eye care center utilization? 3. Do vision centers improve population visual acuity? Researchers will compare outcomes in communities randomized to immediate versus delayed establishment of a vision center. Outcomes will be assessed through population-based surveys at baseline and after two years as well as through hospital records collected throughout the study period.
