Relationship between ocular surface disease and patient's satisfaction among cataract surgical patients in Nigeria.

Purpose: To determine the effect of clinical and cytological features of ocular surface disease on patient's satisfaction following small incision cataract surgery at a tertiary eye care centre.

Method: This is a prospective observational study of 70 consecutive consenting patients who underwent manual small incision cataract surgery(MSICS) at a tertiary eye care centre. All participants underwent ocular surface profile assessment using Schirmer I test (ST1), tear film break-up time (TBUT), conjunctival impression cytology (CIC) and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) at pre-operative visit, 1-week and 4-week post-operative visit.
