Background
surgically-induced, Dry eye disease, disease of the ocular surface
Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface, characterized by the loss of homeostasis of the tear film. DED can be induced by a variety of iatrogenic factors, including corneal refractive surgery [The current consensus recommended comprehensive management for surgically-induced DED, encompassing both preoperative and postoperative approaches [This prospective controlled intervention study aims to explore the effects of MCG on refractive surgery-related DED, by comparing the visual outcomes and DED parameters between the control and MCG-treated participants in the postoperative period.
