Creating a dry eye test for cataract patients
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This research study aims to develop better ways to diagnose and manage dry eye disease in people who need cataract surgery. If you have dry eye or not, your participation will help create better care plans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You either have dry eye symptoms (like dryness, irritation) and a positive clinical test, or you have used certain dry eye drops or have punctal plugs.
- If you do not have dry eye, you must have no symptoms or use of dry eye treatments.
- You cannot have other eye conditions that affect vision more than cataracts, such as active corneal disease.
- You must not have certain autoimmune diseases like active thyroid disease, Sjogren's, or rheumatoid arthritis.
- You cannot have had eye surgery in the last 6 months or LASIK in the last 3 months.
- You must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or using certain medications that affect the central nervous system.

This study evaluates a new computer-assisted imaging system that uses specialized microscopy to help diagnose dry eye disease. Researchers need both healthy volunteers and people with dry eye symptoms to test how well the system works.
This study looks at how cataract surgery affects dry eye disease. It compares people without dry eye to those with mild or moderate dry eye to see if surgery makes their dry eye better or worse.
This study measures how dry eyes get after cataract surgery. It may help patients know what to expect after their operation.
This study tests whether RCI001, a new eye drop treatment, can help people with dry eye disease. If you've had dry eye symptoms for at least 6 months and are interested in trying a new treatment, this trial may be for you.
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 looks at whether dry eye disease affects how accurately doctors measure your eye before cataract surgery. The goal is to help improve how they choose the right lens implant for you.
