Abstract

Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed eye surgeries worldwide, while dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial ocular surface disorder characterized by the loss of tear film homeostasis, accompanied by symptoms such as dryness, foreign body sensation, and inflammation. Although both conditions are more prevalent in older individuals, numerous reports confirm an increase in dry eye symptoms following cataract surgery. Additionally, tear film disorders can significantly affect preoperative biometric measurements. In such cases, cataract surgery outcomes may be compromised, and patient dissatisfaction due to the discomforting symptoms of DED may increase. This mini-review provides a brief overview of the key aspects of dry eye disease in patients undergoing cataract surgery.
