• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

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.

Conditions

• Healthy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Artificial tear	Application of low viscosity artificial tears (Artelac EDO). The active ingredient is hypromellose (1.92 mg per 0.6 ml container).
OTHER	No artificial tears	Before artificial tear application, 2 baseline measurements were taken of the cornea without any intervention
