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,

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1The BriTer Eyez Moisture Vue device is described as a disposable moisture chamber worn on the eye — can you explain exactly how it works and whether wearing it fits with my daily routine and current dry eye severity?
2This trial is measuring things like tear break-up time, tear meniscus height, and tear osmolarity — what do those measurements actually tell us about whether a dry eye treatment is working, and are those the outcomes that matter most for someone in my situation?
3Since this trial is listed as Phase NA, which often means it's studying a device rather than a drug, what does that mean for how much we already know about its safety, and are there any risks I should be aware of before discussing whether to participate?
4Given that this device appears to work by physically trapping moisture rather than using medication, would it make sense to try standard treatments I haven't yet attempted before considering enrolling in a trial like this?
5If I were to discuss joining this trial with you, how would participating affect my current dry eye care — would I need to stop any eye drops or other treatments I'm already using?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
