Overview
Brief Summary

Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •use of eyelid hygiene for at least 14 days prior to screening
- •diagnosis of moderate to severe dry eye disease (DED), with an Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score ≥23
- •Tear Film Break-Up Time (TFBUT) \<10 seconds in one or both eyes
- •Meibomian gland expression of grade 2 or higher in both eyes
- •written informed consent, after having been informed about benefits and potential risks of the clinical trial, as well as details of the insurance taken out to cover the patients participating in the clinical trial
Exclusion Criteria
- •intolerance or hypersensitivity to any component of the Investigational Product (IPs)
- •ocular or intraocular surgery or serious ocular trauma ≤6 months before enrolment
- •current punctal occlusion of any type
- •use of concomitant topical ocular medications within 24 hours prior to first intended administration of the IPs (except for artificial tears or lubricants; previously used artificial tears or lubricants must be suspended for the duration of the study)
- •use of systemic medications that may contribute to dry eye (unless on a stable regimen for ≥30 days before screening and throughout the study)
- •current or previous topical treatment of the eye with antibiotics, steroids or cyclosporin A within the last four weeks
- •ocular or systemic infections or conditions (e.g., epithelial herpes simplex keratitis, vaccinia, varicella, or mycobacterial infection, fungal disease, iritis) or other relevant ocular pathology judged by the investigator that preclude safe administration of the IPs
- •use of contact lenses within 1 week before screening and throughout the study
- •active ocular disease other than DED or any other acute or chronic disease which may interfere with the aims of the clinical trial
- •history of severe allergies or multiple drug allergies unless it is judged as not relevant for the clinical trial by the investigator
Arms & Interventions
Vizol S LIPID BALANCE
topical administration of 1 drop of Vizol S LIPID BALANCE in each eye 4 times a day for 30 days
Intervention: Vizol S LIPID BALANCE eye drops
ophthalmic saline eyedrops
topical administration of 1 drop of ophthalmic saline eye drops matching Vizol S LIPID BALANCE in each eye 4 times a day for 30 days
Intervention: ophthalmic saline eye drops
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean change in the tear film break-up time (TFBUT) from Visit 1 (baseline) to Visit 3 (day 30)
Time Frame: baseline, week 2 follow-up and week 4 follow-up
Tear film break-up time (TFBUT) will be assessed at each visit following the instillation of fluorescein solution into the eye. Fluorescein will be instilled at the outer canthus to avoid ocular surface damage, with the excess saline on the strip shaken off, or a reduced area fluorescein strip used. Viewing will take place between 1 and 3 min after instillation. Three measurements per eye will be performed and the mean value documented and used for evaluation.
Secondary Outcomes
- Mean change in the tear film break-up time (TFBUT) from Visit 1 (baseline) to Visit 2 (day 15)(baseline and week 2 follow-up)
- Mean change in OSDI score from Visit 1 (baseline) to Visit 3 (day 30)(baseline, week 2 follow-up and week 4 follow-up)
- percent (%) change in the tear film break-up time (TFBUT) from Visit 1 (baseline) to Visit 2 (day 15) and from Visit 1 (baseline) to Visit 3 (day 30)(baseline and week 2 follow-up; baseline and week 4 follow-up)
- Mean change in ocular surface staining score (total corneal and total conjunctival staining score) from Visit 1 (baseline) to Visit 3 (day 30)(baseline, week 2 follow-up and week 4 follow-up)
- Mean change in Meibomian gland expression from Visit 1 (baseline) to Visit 3 (day 30)(baseline, week 2 follow-up and week 4 follow-up)
