Dr. Seitzman's Research
Ocular Rosacea microBiome Study
The Ocular Rosacea microBiome Study (ORBS) is a pioneering international, multi-site research initiative designed to explore the impact of different dosing strategies of doxycycline on the treatment of symptomatic ocular rosacea. This parallel-arm randomized clinical trial will investigate sub-microbial versus antibiotic dosing of doxycycline compared to a placebo, aiming to enhance our understanding of the disease and improve therapeutic outcomes.
