Ocular Inflammation in Cataract Patients and Response to Treatment With Xiidra
- 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.
