Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how effective eyelid hygiene (EH) is for improving ocular surface conditions in patients with dry eye disease (DED) before cataract surgery, involving 90 patients divided into two groups based on lipid deficiency types.
- - Patients were divided into subgroups receiving different treatments, including sodium hyaluronate and eyelid hygiene products, leading to significant improvements in ocular surface conditions measured by OSDI and TBUT at two follow-up points.
- - Results showed that patients using EH combined with artificial tears experienced better outcomes such as lower OSDI scores and improved satisfaction with cataract surgery, indicating the benefits of maintaining eyelid hygiene in DED patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how phacoemulsification cataract surgery affects the occurrence of dry eye conditions in patients.
- A total of 550 cataract patients were assessed for dry eye symptoms using various tests both before and after the surgery, revealing a notable increase in dry eye prevalence post-surgery.
- The findings suggest that the prevalence of dry eye worsens, particularly within the first week after surgery, highlighting the need for preoperative treatments to address existing ocular surface issues in cataract patients.
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of complex treatment, including eyelid hygiene, on the condition of ocular surface in dry eye patients before cataract surgery.
Material And Methods: The study included 56 female age-related cataract patients (64±4.3 years old) with dry eye caused by Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Objective: To study the effect of surgical treatment on quality of life (QOL) in patients with epiretinal membrane (EM).
Material And Methods: A total of 48 patients who underwent surgical treatment for EM were examined. QOL was assessed with the VFQ-25 questionnaire before and after the surgery (at 1 week and 6 months).
