NCT ID NCT06886373
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether Systane COMPLETE artificial tears can improve dry eye symptoms and help doctors better predict cataract surgery outcomes. About 140 cataract patients with dry eye will use the drops before and after surgery. Researchers will measure changes in eye shape and dryness to see if the drops make a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Systane COMPLETE (artificial tears with mineral oil and phospholipids)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that using these eye drops before and after cataract surgery improves dry eye symptoms and helps doctors better predict surgical results.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase extension study with only 140 participants. The eye drops are already approved for dry eye, so the main question is about added benefit for surgery planning, not a breakthrough.
