Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the influence of artificial tears on measurements of healthy eyes with three different devices. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Do artificial tears alter the measurements of the corneal surface
* Is there a difference between the devices used in this study

This is relevant because high quality measurements improve the postoperative outcome after cataract surgery.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

one arm for each diagnostic device (three in total)
Primary Study Purpose

DIAGNOSTIC

Blinding Strategy

NONE

The investigator and patient knew which device they were tested on

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

IOL Master 700

Patients in this arm are measured twice with the IOL master 700 without intervention. After this artificial tears are applied and followed by 4 more measurements

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Artificial tear

Intervention Type DRUG

Application of low viscosity artificial tears (Artelac EDO). The active ingredient is hypromellose (1.92 mg per 0.6 ml container).

No artificial tears

Intervention Type OTHER

Before artificial tear application, 2 baseline measurements were taken of the cornea without any intervention

Pentacam AXL

Patients in this arm are measured twice with the Pentacam AXL without intervention. After this artificial tears are applied and followed by 4 more measurements

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Artificial tear

Intervention Type DRUG

Application of low viscosity artificial tears (Artelac EDO). The active ingredient is hypromellose (1.92 mg per 0.6 ml container).

No artificial tears

Intervention Type OTHER

Before artificial tear application, 2 baseline measurements were taken of the cornea without any intervention

Galilei G6

Patients in this arm are measured twice with the Galilei G6 without intervention. After this artificial tears are applied and followed by 4 more measurements

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Artificial tear

Intervention Type DRUG

Application of low viscosity artificial tears (Artelac EDO). The active ingredient is hypromellose (1.92 mg per 0.6 ml container).

No artificial tears

Intervention Type OTHER

Before artificial tear application, 2 baseline measurements were taken of the cornea without any intervention
