Detailed Description
The aim of this study is to investigate the routine use of such lubricating drops in a randomized, prospective methodology in patients undergoing uncomplicated cataract surgery in the NHS setting. As these drops are provided with the intraocular lens, if found to be of benefit in reducing dry eye problems such a study might provide evidence for the universal implementa-tion of post-operative ocular lubricant drops
