TearLab Refractive Surgery Dry Eye Study
Measurement of Refractive Surgery Induced Dry Eye Using Tear Osmolarity Testing

The primary objective of this study is to determine how pre & post-operative tear osmolarity levels relate to rates of dry eye symptoms related to refractive surgery and if differences exist in patients who are pre-treated with ocular lubricants vs. those treated only post-operatively.
