Wireless Micropump in Dry Eye Patients

December 12, 2020 updated by: Tianjin Eye Hospital

Clinical Efficacy of Wireless Micropump in Dry Eye Patients

The purpose of this study is to carry out a trial to get more convincing and valuable results of the wireless micropump in dry eye patients and compare the outcomes before and after eye drops usage. The investigators hope to investigate the micropump comprehensively, including the comparison of tear film break-up time, corneal epithelium defect percentage, and tear film thickness. To meet the demands of a trial, all the examination equipment should be the same for each patient, and this will limit the variations within a study.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: sodium hyaluronate
Sodium hyaluronate has become a novel and effective eye drop for the treatment of the dry eye. However, we design a special method of usage of sodium hyaluronate in dry eye patients.
We usage a special type of anterior eye drug delivery system to conduct the transmission of sodium hyaluronate in dry eye patients.
