Background/aims: Dry eye disease (DED) questionnaires would ideally be easy and fast to answer and explore the main aspects of disease burden and satisfaction (efficacy and tolerability) with treatment. This pilot study evaluates the Pentascore questionnaire for routinely assessing DED.
Methods: The Pentascore combines five visual analogue scales (VAS) to assess the intensity and frequency of ocular pain/discomfort, the impact of DED on daily activities and visual tasks and the efficacy and tolerability of ongoing DED treatment(s).
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the impact of a new intracameral combination of mydriatics and anesthetic (ICMA) on cataract surgery outcomes at a hospital in France, comparing results before and after its implementation.
- A retrospective review of three patient groups showed that while visual outcomes and complications remained stable, the duration of surgery and patient turnover times significantly decreased after ICMA was introduced.
- The findings suggest that using ICMA as a standard procedure improves efficiency in cataract surgery without compromising patient safety or vision results.
