Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term effects (impact on tear film and dry eye symptoms) of the BriTer Eyez Moisture Vue™ On-Demand Disposable Moisture Chamber (the device under investigation) in individuals with mild to moderate dry eye disease. Specifically, the study aims to determine whether wearing the device for two hours improves tear-film stability, tear volume, and tear osmolarity,

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Moisture Vue™ Device Use

    Participants with mild to moderate dry eye disease will wear the BriTer Eyez Moisture Vue™ On Demand Disposable Moisture Chamber attached to their eyeglass spectacles for two hours. Objective tear film measurements and symptom surveys will be collected before and after device wear.

    Device: BriTer Eyez Moisture Vue™ On Demand Disposable Moisture Chamber

Interventions

  • DeviceBriTer Eyez Moisture Vue™ On Demand Disposable Moisture Chamber

    A disposable silicone moisture chamber device designed to attach to eyeglass spectacles to increase periocular humidity and reduce tear evaporation. Participants will apply the device bilaterally to their spectacles and wear it for two hours under supervised conditions. Ocular surface parameters and dry eye symptoms will be assessed before and after device wear.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean Change in Non-Invasive Tear Break Up Time (NITBUT)

    The mean change in non-invasive tear break up time will be measured using the Bruder Ocular Surface Analyzer at baseline and after 2 hours of device wear. NITBUT reflects tear film stability and will be reported as the mean difference between post wear and baseline values in seconds.

    Time frame: Baseline and after 2 hours of device wear.

  2. Mean Change in Tear Meniscus Height

    The mean change in tear meniscus height will be measured using the Bruder Ocular Surface Analyzer at baseline and after 2 hours of device wear. Tear meniscus height is an indicator of tear volume and will be reported as the mean difference between post wear and baseline values in millimeters.

    Time frame: Baseline and after 2 hours of device wear.

  3. Mean Change in Tear Osmolarity

    The mean change in tear osmolarity will be measured using the TearLab Osmolarity System at baseline and after 2 hours of device wear. Tear osmolarity reflects tear film homeostasis and will be reported as the mean difference between post wear and baseline values in milliosmoles per liter.

    Time frame: Baseline and after 2 hours of device wear.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean Change in SPEED Total Score

    The mean change in the Standardized Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness total score will be assessed using the SPEED questionnaire administered at baseline and after 2 hours of device wear. Results will be reported as the mean difference between post wear and baseline total scores.

    Time frame: Baseline and after 2 hours of device wear.

  2. Mean Change in SANDE Composite Score

    The mean change in dry eye symptom severity will be assessed using the Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye questionnaire administered at baseline and after 2 hours of device wear. Results will be reported as the mean difference between post wear and baseline composite scores.

    Time frame: Baseline and after 2 hours of device wear.

  3. Mean System Usability Scale Total Score

    Usability of the moisture chamber device will be assessed using the System Usability Scale administered after device wear. The total usability score will be reported as the mean System Usability Scale score across participants.

    Time frame: After 2 hours of device wear.

  4. Mean Change in Lipid Layer Thickness Category

    The mean change in lipid layer thickness category will be assessed using automated interferometry on the Bruder Ocular Surface Analyzer at baseline and after 2 hours of device wear. Results will be reported as the mean difference in lipid layer category scores.

    Time frame: Baseline and after 2 hours of device wear.

  5. Mean Change in Blink Rate

    The mean change in blink rate will be assessed using automated blink analysis on the Bruder Ocular Surface Analyzer at baseline and after 2 hours of device wear. Results will be reported as the mean difference in blink rate per minute.

    Time frame: Baseline and after 2 hours of device wear.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Sep 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jul 2027, 10 months after the start.

Of 199 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Dry Eye Syndromes, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 25. This study's planned 10 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 312 studies reached it within 10 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 18.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 11, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
