简要总结
This is a single center double-masked study with up to four visits. Subjects who have been diagnosed with dry-eye syndrome at Flaum Eye Institute will be enrolled. The purpose of the study is to determine if using platelet rich plasma drops can improve clinically significant dry eye in patients and determine if there is a difference with using two different uses of the plasma tear drops: platelet rich plasma tears and plasma tears without platelets.

结局指标
主要结局
Mean change in acuity
时间窗: baseline to 3 months
Acuity will be measured using a Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensor. Subjects will be seated in front of the wavefront sensor. They will be asked to blink naturally fixate on the laser spot throughout the measurement protocol. While subjects fixate, the wavefront sensor delivers a brief flash of light to the subjects' retina. The light reflected out of the subjects' eye is collected to obtain measurements of wavefront aberrations of the eye. For optical quality assessments the measurements of wavefront aberrations will be acquired along the line-of-sight. The wavefront data acquired from the wavefront sensor will be described by Zernike coefficients, the most popular mathematical way to represent the ocular aberrations.
Mean change in breakup pattern to appear
时间窗: baseline to 3 months
This will be measured using a Placido Disk. The subject places their chin on a chin rest and look into the disk system. The system uses an incandescent or broad-band area LED for illumination.
Mean change in consistency of lipid compensation
时间窗: baseline to 3 months
This will be measured using a Ellipsometer/Tearscope. This instrument uses a modified slit-lamp head restraint and an imaging system to visualize the surface of the subject's cornea. Structurally the system is a clinical slit-lamp system. However, the system uses an electronic camera instead of a human observer. The illumination system uses a diffuse ring illuminator instead of a slit-lamp. The data from this instrument identifies changes in the lipid thickness and the refractive index over the cornea.

Mean change in temperature over the optical service
时间窗: baseline to 3 months
This will be measured using a Thermal Imaging System. A thermal imaging system will be used to provide spatially-resolved thermal maps of the subject's eyes and face adjacent to the eyes. This camera system is non-invasive and is mounted on a tripod about 12" from the subject's eyes. It images the heat that is emitted by the subject at frame rates from 2 to 10 Hz. The camera displays a spatially resolved map (approximately 0.2 x 0.2 mm pixel size) of the ocular surface temperature. IR detection is a convenient tool for instantaneous temperature measurement of the ocular surface and allows monitoring of time course change as well.
