Efficacy and Safety of Fluorometholone (FML) in Dry Eye Disease (Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca) (FML)
January 7, 2015 updated by: Instituto Universitario de Oftalmobiología Aplicada (Institute of Applied Ophthalmobiology) - IOBA
Randomized, Double-Masked, Vehicle-controlled Phase III Trial on the Safety/Efficacy of FML® 0.1% in the Treatment of the Inflammatory Exacerbation Provoked by Exposure to an Adverse Controlled Environment in Patients With Dry Eye Disease
Hypothesis: Fluorometholone (FML) 0.1% eyedrops topically applied 4 times a day for 22 days is more efficient than artificial tears (Liquifilm) in dry eye disease (DED) and ameliorates the worsening of the disease after exposure to an adverse controlled environment.
