First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether using Systane COMPLETE eye drops before cataract surgery can improve dry eye symptoms and help with surgical planning. About 150 adults aged 20-85 with dry eye who need cataract surgery will use the drops regularly before their operation. Researchers will measure dry eye symptoms, vision, and eye surface health to see if the drops make a difference.

Active substance

Systane COMPLETE eye drops

What this could lead to

If it works, this could show that using Systane COMPLETE before cataract surgery improves dry eye symptoms and helps achieve better vision after surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 150 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The main benefit is symptom relief, not a cure for dry eye.
