Registration Number
NCT04120987
Lead Sponsor
Bucci Laser Vision Institute
Brief Summary

To determine if the use of Xiidra® reduces ocular surface inflammation in preoperative and postoperative cataract patients.

Detailed Description

Single-center, prospective, randomized, investigator-initiated study

250 cataract patients, aged 60 or older, will be tested for ocular surface inflammation with the InflammaDry® immunoassay

Patients with bilateral positive MMP-9 will be randomized into a group treated with Xiidra two weeks preoperatively and six weeks postoperatively or a group not treated with Xiidra

The investigator hypothesizes that treatment with Xiidra prior to routine cataract surgery will significantly improve the quality of keratometry readings and BCVA.
