CATARACT, AFTER CATARACT
Despite being a low-risk, high-volume and quick ambulatory procedure, modern cataract surgery can cause adverse dry eye symptoms, diminishing the positive effects of surgical treatmentBenzalkonium chloride (BAC), used as a preservative in many eye drops, induces tear film instability and ocular surface damage in a dose-dependent mannerThe goal of this interventional, real-world data study is to evaluate the impact of preserved and preservative-free 0.1% dexamethasone eyedrops on subjective and objective dry eye disease (DED) signs and symptoms after cataract surgery.
