Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Patient satisfaction and dry symptoms in patients undergoing routine uncomplicated cataract surgery in NHS patients treated with prophylactic phosphate-free, preservative-free lubricant eye drops (0.3% cross linked sodium hyaluronate, AEONTM Protect Plus and0.15% Sodium Hyalu-ronate with vitamins A and E, AEONTM Repair): A randomized, prospective, controlled study.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: AEONTM Repair and AEONTM Protect Plus lubricating eye drops
N/A

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
