U.S., Aug. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07119580) titled 'Association Between Limbal Function and Tear Proteomics in Chronic Ocular Diseases: Focusing on Glaucoma' on Aug. 06.
Brief Summary: Background Intact corneal epithelium is important for the defense on the ocular surface, and the function of limbal stem cells is crucial to maintain its integrity. Certain chronic eye diseases, such as glaucoma, require long-term medication use. However, glaucoma patients often exhibit corneal punctate erosions and ocular surface inflammation.
