About this study

This study will compare cataract patients before and after phacoemulsification. Evaluations will be performed before and 1 and 3 months following cataract surgery, including parameters of dry eye syndrome and MGD. Dry eye syndrome parameters included TBUT, Schirmer's test type I, Oxford staining score, and the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Questionnaire. MGD parameters consisted of lipid layer thickness (LLT), lid margin abnormality, meibum quality, meibum expressibility, MG orifice obstruction, MGD stage, and MG dropout.

Being tested
Lipiview 2

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the change of parameters associated with dry eye syndrome

    Analysis the change of parameters associated with dry eye syndrome before and after cataract surgery measured by lipiview 2.

    Measured: baseline and 1 month after POD(postoperative day)

  2. the change of parameters associated with meibomiangland dysfunction

    Analysis the change of parameters associated with meibomiangland dysfunction before and after cataract surgery measured by lipiview 2.

    Measured: baseline and 1 month after POD(postoperative day)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lipiview 2 in people with Cataract Patients, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the change of parameters associated with dry eye syndrome (time frame: baseline and 1 month after POD(postoperative day)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Sep 2017.
