ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how kidney-related anemia affects the meibomian glands, which are important for keeping our eyes moist. Patients with renal anemia often experience dry eye symptoms, and this study aims to better understand how their meibomian glands function and look under these conditions. The trial is currently looking for participants who are between 16 and 90 years old and have been using medications like Roxadustat or erythropoietin for their anemia.
To be eligible for the study, participants should not wear contact lenses, have had recent eye surgeries, or have other health issues that could affect their eye health. If you join this trial, you can expect to share your medical history and undergo some eye examinations to help researchers learn more about the relationship between renal anemia and dry eyes. This information could lead to better treatments for those experiencing these symptoms in the future.
