Abstract
The increase in life expectancy has resulted in a greater number of patients presenting for cataract surgery as well as an increasing prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) symptoms or signs noted in these patients. Low grade and/or non-symptomatic DED is common and can be exacerbated after surgery. DED can induce errors in IOL power calculation. DED can impair the visual prognosis and patient comfort after cataract surgery, leading to dissatisfaction of both the patient and the surgeon. Hence, preoperative evaluation for DED for all cataract candidates is crucial to mitigate these risks. To optimize clinical efficiency during the screening examination, we propose a strategy of three levels of DED screening, according to a patient's risk of DED given his or her history. We also propose a summary of the main clinical points before, during and after cataract surgery in eyes with DED.Entities:
