Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effects of regular use of Systane COMPLETE in patients with mixed dry eye who are preparing for cataract surgery. The objective is to determine how this treatment may optimize the ocular surface and improve predictions of residual astigmatism post-surgery. Participants aged 20-85 will be monitored for their ability to answer questionnaires and undergo pre-operative assessments. The study aims to enhance surgical outcomes by addressing dry eye symptoms prior to the procedure.
