Efficacy, Tolerability and Comfort of GenTeal and GenTeal Gel, (0.3% Hypromellose) in the Pre- and Post- Operative Treatment of Patients Undergoing LASIK Surgery
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating 0.3% hypromellose for Corneal Epithelium Defect. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
GenTeal gel is an artificial tear gel used to lubricate the surface of the eye. This study will evaluate the effect of GenTeal gel on comfort following LASIK surgery. Participants will be asked to come to the clinic for three regularly scheduled visits after LASIK surgery: Day 1 (one day after LASIK surgery), Day 7 (one week follow-up), and Day 30 (one month follow-up). Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire regarding eye comfort during each follow up visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, one of which will receive Genteal Gel four times a day for five days prior to surgery. The other group will receive no preoperative gel or lubricant, which has been our standard approach for many years.
