Effects of Sustained Reading on the Ocular Surface

Terminated

• Conditions: Sjogren's Syndrome; Dry Eye Syndromes

• Registration Number: NCT02031172
• Lead Sponsor: University of Rochester

Brief Summary

This research is being done to to see if changes in visual reading function correlate with changes in optical and retinal image quality. We hypothesize that changes and deterioration in tear film quality and dynamics may have a negative effect on reading function.

People with or without dry eye syndrome may enroll.
