Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of applying pulse Electrical Stimulation around eye after laser keratoplasty (LASEK) in patients with dry eye syndrome.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Duration of study period (per participant): Screening period (0-4weeks). Intervention period (12weeks).

Patient needs to visit site at least 8 times (Screening, baseline, 1 day, 3day, 1, 4, 8, 12weeks based on baseline). Baseline visit will be done on the day of surgery.
