Effect of dry eye on eye measurements for cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study checks if dry eye disease affects measurements doctors take before cataract surgery to choose the right lens implant. If you have dry eyes, the results may help make surgery more precise for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether dry eye affects how doctors measure the lens implant for cataract surgery. It may help improve the accuracy of lens power calculations for people with dry eye.
This study checks whether treating dry eyes before cataract surgery can change the way your eye's shape (astigmatism) is measured. It may help make your surgery more accurate.
This study looks at how dry eye symptoms change after cataract surgery. It is for older adults (50–90) having simple cataract surgery for the first time, without other eye problems or certain health conditions.
This study compares two different eye drops, rebamipide and diquafosol, to see which one works better for treating dry eye in people having cataract surgery. The goal is to find the best way to manage dry eye symptoms during the surgery period.
This study tests a gel placed into the tear drain to treat dry eye in people who are also getting cataract surgery. You may be able to join if you have dry eye and are having cataract surgery.
This trial compares two types of artificial tears (eye drops used for dry eyes) — one with preservatives and one without — to see which is more helpful for people with dry eye disease. If you have been diagnosed with dry eye, you might be able to join.
