Comparing two eye drops for dry eye before and after cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
