Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial is a randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) on dry eye disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This trial is a randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, controlled clinical trial to compare intervention treatment (Per-Young Eye Drops: preservative-free 0.15% HA) against control treatment (AIM Artificial Tears: salt solution without 0.15% HA). All participants will be received Per-Young Eye Drops (4 to 8 times per day) or AIM Artificial Tears (4 to 8 times per day) with 12 weeks. Two drugs are identical in appearance and order of administration will be double-blind randomized.

Primary endpoint:

To compare the central tear meniscus height (TMHc) of treatment with preservative-free 0.15% HA to the treatment with salt solution without 0.15% HA at 4 weeks.
