Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a special eyelid wipe (EPD-09-25) can help keep the eye area clean and reduce infection risk when used before and after cataract surgery. If you are already having cataract surgery, this could be a simple addition to your routine.
This study tests a treatment called Lacrifill to see if it helps reduce dry eye symptoms after cataract surgery. You would receive the treatment after your surgery to see if it improves comfort and eye health.
This study tests a handheld laser device used during cataract surgery to create a precise opening in the lens capsule. It may help surgeons improve accuracy and safety during the procedure.
This study tests an investigational eye drop for people who have both cataracts and mild to moderate dry eye. It aims to improve eye comfort and health after cataract surgery, which can make dry eyes worse.
This study tests whether low-level light therapy can improve dry eye symptoms caused by blocked oil glands (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction). It also looks at how the treatment affects skin pigmentation under the eyes.
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.
