Lacrifill for dry eye and precise eye measurements in cataract patients

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 is a single-site observational study evaluating Lacrifill canalicular filler in patients with dry eye disease who are planning cataract surgery. The study will assess changes in ocular surface parameters and the precision of biometric measurements used for surgical planning. Eligible participants are adults 40 years or older with dry eye disease and no recent ocular surgeries or major recent changes in DED therapy. Interventions involve a Lacrifill canalicular filler administered prior to or around the time of cataract surgery, with outcomes focused on ocular surface stabilization and biometric consistency. No control group or randomization is described due to the observational design.
