Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R, Did you know that there is a 34% prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) six months after cataract surgery? Approximately 10 million cataract surgeries are carried out worldwide every year. Although many people experience improved quality of life post-surgery, there is still a risk of complications. DED is one of them; the detrimental effects of surgery on the ocular surface can directly induce and exacerbate pre-existing problems. Artificial tear products (ATPs) are the gold standard for postoperative DED management. ATP-containing polyethylene glycol (PEG), propylene glycol (PG), and hyaluronic acid (HA) provide multiple benefits to these patients. Check out this article to learn how the PEG-PG-HA solution reduces DED symptoms and enhances tear film quality. Highlights:- DED is the most frequent complication post-cataract surgery
- DED is associated with some pre-, intra-, and post-risk factors
- Presurgical evaluation of the ocular surface can decrease the incidence
- Using HPG and HA eye drops for treating post-cataract DED provides favorable results
