Trial Outcomes & Findings for Non-invasive Ocular Surface Measurements Before and After Interventions (NCT NCT01228929)

NCT ID: NCT01228929

Last Updated: 2015-10-12

Results Overview

Objectively evaluate the ocular surface temperature prior to and after 30 minutes of acclimation to three different environmental conditions in a controlled-environmental chamber using thermal imaging. 10 eyes were analyzed for each group.

Measure
Normal
Subjects with no clinical diagnosis or symptoms of dry eye. Each participant completed 3 environmental conditions. Nominal is 75 degrees F and 40% relative humidity. Low humidity is 20% relative humidity and 75 degrees F. High temperature is 85 degrees F and 40% relative humidity.
Aqueous Deficiency Dry Eye (ADDE)
Subjects with low tear volume measured by Schirmer's test less than 10 mm. Each participant completed 3 environmental conditions. Nominal is 75 degrees F and 40% relative humidity. Low humidity is 20% relative humidity and 75 degrees F. High temperature is 85 degrees F and 40% relative humidity.
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
Subjects having mild to moderate Meibomian Gland Dysfunction by slit lamp evaluation. Each participant completed 3 environmental conditions. Nominal is 75 degrees F and 40% relative humidity. Low humidity is 20% relative humidity and 75 degrees F. High temperature is 85 degrees F and 40% relative humidity.
