ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2023

70 participants

Abstract

To compare the effects of hydroxypropyl guar (HPG)/hyaluronic acid (HA)- and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)/HA-based lubricant eye drops on subjective and objective outcomes in dry eye disease (DED) patients after cataract surgery.

Conditions: Dry Eye Disease, Cataract.

Primary outcome: Corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) score.

Enrollment: 70 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 70 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
