seems that in the Massachusetts Eye and Ear they are right now enrolling new patients for 3 clinical studies. At least one of them seems to be interesting:
The second study is to test the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory medicated drops on patients with posterior blepharitis, or inflammation of the inner part of the eyelid. Patients participating in this study use the study eye drops three times a day for three months. The medication is a synthesized naturally occurring protein in your body that helps to regulate inflammation. By controlling the inflammation in the eyelid it is hoped that the uncomfortable symptoms of blepharitis will diminish. Learn more about this clinical trial.

and article mentioning it: http://suite101.com/a/autoimmune-eye-diseases-a50098. That article mentions topical drops with ALA, could be interesting.
