About this trial

This is a single-site observational study designed to evaluate the efficacy of Lacrifill™ canalicular filler in optimizing ocular surface parameters and biometric precision in prospective cataract surgery patients with dry eye disease (DED).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

No recent ocular surgeries (<6 months)

No significant changes in DED regimen within last 1 month

Disqualifiers

Previous punctal plugs or canalicular cautery

Active ocular inflammation or corneal pathology unrelated to DED

Trial population

Subjects aged 40 years or older with diagnosed dry eye disease, totaling 65 eyes enrolled.
