Terminated

• Conditions: Eye Disease
• Interventions: Other: Eye Examination

• Registration Number: NCT00453258
• Lead Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver

Brief Summary

The significance of our study is in the importance of understanding the quality and quantity of proteins in the human tear film from diseased and non-diseased patients. This pilot study will provide data to plan prospective research to better delineate the utility of tear proteins in diagnosing and following disease status in a non-invasive fashion.
