Evaluation of cyclosporine 0.05% and artificial tears for the management of dry eye disease following cataract surgery: a randomized controlled trial. Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2024; 86:1983-1988. [PMID: 38576912 PMCID: PMC10990346 DOI: 10.1097/ms9.0000000000001795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose To compare the effects of cyclosporine 0.05% and artificial tears on dry eye disease following cataract surgery. Methods This prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial enroled 60 eyes of 60 eligible cataract patients who completed the study. Patients were randomized to receive either cyclosporine 0.05% or artificial tear four times daily for 1 month following cataract surgery. Clinical assessments included refraction, corrected distance visual acuity, tear break-up time (TBUT), Schirmer's test, and the visual analogue scale (VAS). An independent sample t-test was used to compare the means of the variables between the two groups. Results Mean patient age was 64.15±9.17 (range, 45-90), of which 53% (n=32) were female. There was no significant difference in mean age (P=0.308) between the two groups. One month postoperatively, the cyclosporine 0.05% group had a significantly higher TBUT value (P=0.004). Schirmer's result (P=0.095) and the VAS questionnaire scores (P=0.374) did not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference in the visual outcomes (P>0.05). Conclusion Cyclosporine 0.05% was superior to artificial tears in improving tear stability after cataract surgery in the management of immediate postoperative dry eye. It may provide a more effective therapeutic option for the management of dry eye symptoms in the clinical setting.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this article is to review the available strategies to successfully identify and manage ocular surface disease (OSD) pre, intra and post-cataract surgery. RECENT FINDINGS Cataract surgery and OSD have an intricate relationship: the surgical procedure can induce or exaggerate OSD symptoms, while OSD can negatively impact surgical refractive outcomes and increase the rate of postoperative complications. SUMMARY Improving the health and stability ocular surface is the key to enhance post cataract surgery refractive outcomes and avoid complications. This is pivotal for patients affected by severe OSD, but is also important for patients with minimal signs or symptoms. A correct diagnosis and a stepwise approach are the keys to improve the quality of life of such patients.

J Ophthalmol 2024; 2024:8415425. [PMID: 38333732 PMCID: PMC10853018 DOI: 10.1155/2024/8415425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2022] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives To investigate the effect of 2% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and bandage contact lens (BCL) on dry eye disease after cataract surgery. Methods This prospective randomized controlled trial included 63 eyes which were divided into the balanced salt solution (BSS), HPMC, BCL, and combined HPMC and BCL (H&B) groups. The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), tear meniscus height (TMH), and average tear break-up time were measured before cataract surgery and 30 days postoperatively. Differences in corneal nerve fiber (CNF) and dendritic cell (DC) density in various directions were evaluated and compared. The CNFs and DCs in central and infratemporal directions were observed using in vivo confocal microscopy. Data were evaluated using the Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test and analysis of variance. Results The differences in variations in OSDI and TMH after cataract surgery between the four groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The postoperative OSDI of the HPMC group decreased compared with their preoperative OSDI. A statistically significant difference in the variations of OSDI score was observed between the HPMC and other groups (P < 0.05). The postoperative variations in TMH in the HPMC group were significantly higher than those observed preoperatively and significantly differed between HPMC and BCL groups and between BCL and H&B groups (P < 0.05). Postoperatively, the density of corneal DCs decreased in BSS and HPMC groups and increased in BCL and H&B groups (P < 0.001). Conclusions The application of 2% HPMC in cataract surgery has a certain effect on managing dry eye after cataract surgery. Although the use of BCLs after cataract surgery has some benefits, it may cause mild ocular surface inflammation. Nevertheless, using 2% HPMC with BCLs in the perioperative phase of cataract surgery can alleviate the subjective discomfort of patients and can safely and effectively replace eye patch after cataract surgery.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the effects of the three-dimension visualization system on dry eye in patients after cataract phacoemulsification. Methods Seventy-one patients (104 eyes) were enrolled in this study and assigned to the conventional microscopic group (CM group) or three-dimension group (3D group). Ocular Surface Disease Index, The Schirmer I test (SIt), lipid layer thickness (LLT), noninvasive tear breakup time (NIBUT) and other factors associated with dry eye were recorded before and 1 week and 1 month after surgery. The operation time and intraoperative light intensity (ILI) were also recorded. Results The ILI in the 3D group was significantly lower than that in the CM group (33% vs. 60%, p < 0.01). There was an interaction (group and time) effect for first NIBUT (NIBUT-F), average NIBUT (NIBUT-Ave), tear meniscus height (TMH) and the score of eye redness (Pinteraction < 0.05). The main effects of group on SIt, LLT, NIBUT-F, NIBUT-Ave and the score of eye redness were significant (Pgroup < 0.05). In the CM group, SIt, LLT, NIBUT-F, NIBUT-Ave, TMH were lower than those of the 3D group, the score of eye redness was higher than that of the 3D group at 1 week and 1 month after surgery (all p < 0.05). The changes in NIBUT-F and NIBUT-Ave between before surgery and 1 week after surgery showed negative correlations with ILI (p < 0.01). Conclusion Compared with microscopic surgery, the 3D visualization system can provide better tear film stability for patients after cataract surgery.

Abstract
Cataract surgery can cause dry eye symptoms. One of the many factors compromising the ocular surface is the use of benzalkonium chloride (BAC)-preserved topical eye drops administered during the postoperative period. In this open-label, prospective, randomized, comparative clinical trial, 40 patients not previously affected by dry eye disease were assigned to receive either preservative-free (PFD) or preserved (PD) dexamethasone 0.1% eye drops for two weeks after a standard phacoemulsification procedure. Fluorescein break-up time, ocular surface staining score, Schirmer test, Ocular Surface Disease Index and anterior chamber (AC) cells were evaluated at baseline prior to the surgery and 2 weeks after surgery. No statistically significant differences in baseline assessments were observed between groups. At week 2, a significant increase in corneal staining scores (p = 0.003) and foreign body sensation (p = 0.04) was observed for the PD group only. The conjunctival staining score was significantly higher in both groups. The mean AC cell grading was higher in the PFD group than in the PD group (0.28 ± 0.30 and 0.07 ± 0.18, respectively; p = 0.013). Preservative-free dexamethasone eye drops after cataract surgery caused milder dry eye symptoms as compared with preserved dexamethasone. The AC inflammation control comparison may require a larger study group. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT05753787, 03/03/2023.

Abstract
The word "elective" refers to medications and procedures undertaken by choice or with a lower grade of prioritization. Patients usually use elective medications or undergo elective procedures to treat pathologic conditions or for cosmetic enhancement, impacting their lifestyle positively and, thus, improving their quality of life. However, those interventions can affect the homeostasis of the tear film and ocular surface. Consequently, they generate signs and symptoms that could impair the patient's quality of life. This report describes the impact of elective topical and systemic medications and procedures on the ocular surface and the underlying mechanisms. Moreover, elective procedures performed for ocular diseases, cosmetic enhancement, and non-ophthalmic interventions, such as radiotherapy and bariatric surgery, are discussed. The report also evaluates significant anatomical and biological consequences of non-urgent interventions to the ocular surface, such as neuropathic and neurotrophic keratopathies. Besides that, it provides an overview of the prophylaxis and management of pathological conditions resulting from the studied interventions and suggests areas for future research. The report also contains a systematic review investigating the quality of life among people who have undergone small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Overall, SMILE refractive surgery seems to cause more vision disturbances than LASIK in the first month post-surgery, but less dry eye symptoms in long-term follow up.

Abstract
We evaluated the clinical features of postoperative anterior blepharitis following cataract surgery and the efficacy of topical azithromycin retrospectively. Thirty eyes of 30 patients with a clinical diagnosis of anterior blepharitis by 6 months postoperatively among those who underwent cataract surgery at our institution between November 2020 and June 2022 were included. The diagnosis of anterior blepharitis and the assessment of objective and subjective findings were based on the American Academy of Ophthalmology Blepharitis Preferred Practice Pattern®. Azithromycin eye drops were prescribed for all patients, and findings and symptoms before and after the drops were reviewed. The time of onset ranged from 2 weeks to 6 months after cataract surgery, with the most common onset at 2 to 3 months postoperatively (mean time of onset 79.4 ± 39.6 days). The type of anterior blepharitis was staphylococcal blepharitis in 26 eyes and seborrheic blepharitis in 4 eyes, while mixed type with posterior blepharitis was noted in 6 eyes. Symptoms at the time of examination included irritation (including foreign body sensation) in 24 eyes, tearing in 4 eyes, and redness in 3 eyes. The findings and symptoms of anterior blepharitis were alleviated or resolved with azithromycin eye drops in 26 of the 30 eyes, but the blepharitis recurred in 6 of these eyes, requiring azithromycin eye drops to be re-prescribed. The onset of anterior blepharitis after cataract surgery may be related to a gradual decrease in postoperative eye drops. Patients tended to complain of irritation and foreign body sensation, and azithromycin eye drops were effective in such cases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors for dry eye after pediatric strabismus surgery. METHODS Children aged 5-12 years who underwent strabismus surgery were included in this single-center, prospective, cohort study. The ocular surface assessments were conducted 1 day before and 1, 4, and 8 weeks after surgery. The main outcome measures were the incidence of dry eye after strabismus surgery and associated risk factors. RESULTS A total of 84 eyes (48 children) that underwent strabismus surgery were included in the study. The mean age at surgery was 7.21 years. The incidence of dry eye was 47.62% at 1 week, 10.71% at 4 weeks, 0% at 8 weeks after surgery. The preoperative tear breakup time (BUT) was lower in the dry eye group than that in the non-dry eye group (P ≤ 0.01). The univariate analysis showed that preoperative BUT was significantly associated with the incidence of dry eye after pediatric strabismus surgery (odds ratio [OR] 0.647, confidence interval [CI] 0.503-0.833, P ≤ 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Dry eye commonly occurs after pediatric strabismus surgery. Tear film instability is more common than deficient aqueous tear production in patients with dry eye after surgery. Children with a low preoperative BUT are more likely to develop dry eye after strabismus surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To understand the impact of dry eye disease (DED) on the components of ocular biometry and ways to optimize the visual outcomes of cataract surgery in eyes with DED. METHODOLOGY A thorough literature review of the components pertaining to this review was undertaken using the databases, PubMed (from the year 2000), MEDLINE, CENTRAL (including Cochrane Eyes and Vision Trials Register; Cochrane Library: Issue 12 of 12 December 2019), metaRegister of Controlled Trials (mRCT) (www.controlled-trials. com), ClinicalTrials.gov (www.clinicaltrial.gov) and WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (www.who.int/ictrp/search/en). The keywords used for the search included "cataract surgery" or "phacoemulsification" combined with "dry eye", "dry eye disease","biometry", "keratometry". RESULTS Publications considered for this review included meta-analysis, systematic reviews, case-control and cohort studies, case series, and laboratory-based studies. Published articles reporting tear film alteration in DED, its impact on the quality of vision and optical aberrations, the effect of topical medications on keratometry variations, and reports on optimizing the ocular surface before cataract surgery were included. CONCLUSIONS DED is a common entity seen in patients presenting to routine cataract clinics and is known to impact the accuracy, reliability, and repeatability of ocular biometry and IOL power calculations in them. This review intends to emphasize the preoperative screening for the presence of DED, initiation of appropriate medical management for optimization of the ocular surface before cataract surgery, and recommendations for performing biometry. The algorithmic approach proposed will help the general ophthalmologists in routine practice to provide quality care and acceptable visual outcomes in patients with pre-existing DED.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the efficacy of acupuncture in patients with post-cataract surgery dry eye disease (DED). METHODS Ninety participants with post-cataract surgery DED were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive true acupuncture (n = 44) or non-penetrating sham acupuncture (n = 46) twice weekly for 8 weeks. The primary outcome was the change from baseline to week 8 in the noninvasive tear film break-up time (TFBUT). Participants were followed until week 12. Secondary outcomes included Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score, tear meniscus height (TMH), corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) score, meiboscore and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA). RESULTS The estimated mean change from baseline in the noninvasive TFBUT was 1.52 for true acupuncture versus 0.77 for sham acupuncture (adjusted difference -0.75 [95% CI -1.39 to -0.12]; P = 0.02) at week 8 and 1.49 for true acupuncture versus 0.81 for sham acupuncture (adjusted difference -0.68 [95% CI, -1.29 to -0.07]; P = 0.029) at week 12. The mean change in the OSDI score was -20.13 for true acupuncture versus -13.44 for sham acupuncture (adjusted difference 6.69 [95% CI, 0.64 to 12.74]; P = 0.031) at week 8, but revealed no statistically between-group differences at week 12. Mean changes in TMH, CFS score, meiboscore and CDVA did not differ significantly between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with post-cataract surgery DED, acupuncture compared with sham acupuncture resulted in statistically significant benefit on tear film stability.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the change patterns in corneal intrinsic aberrations and nerve density after cataract surgery in dry eye disease. The preoperative, 1- and 3-month postoperative dry eye-related parameters were obtained by the Oculus keratograph and the ocular surface disease index questionnaire. The corneal intrinsic aberrations were measured using the Pentacam HR system. In vivo confocal microscopy was performed to observe the vortical and peripheral corneal nerves. An artificial intelligence technique run by the deep learning model generated the corneal nerve parameters. Corneal aberrations on the anterior and total corneal surfaces were significantly increased at 1 month compared with the baseline (p < 0.05) but gradually returned to the baseline by 3 months (p > 0.05). However, the change in posterior corneal aberration lasted up to 3 months (p < 0.05). There was a significant decrease in the corneal vortical nerve maximum length and average density after the operation (p < 0.05), and this damage lasted approximately 3 months. The corneal vortical nerve maximum length and average density were negatively correlated with the anterior corneal surface aberrations before and 1 month after the operation (correlation coefficients, CC = −0.26, −0.25, −0.28; all p < 0.05). Corneal vortex provided a unique site to observe long-term corneal nerve injury related to eye dryness. The continuous damage to the corneal vortical nerve may be due to the continuous dry eye state.

Prevalence and Characteristics of Dry Eye Disease After Cataract Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Ophthalmol Ther 2022; 11:1309-1332. [PMID: 35534685 PMCID: PMC9253209 DOI: 10.1007/s40123-022-00513-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) after cataract surgery is associated with various risk factors, while causing a wide range of heterogeneous symptoms including decreased quality of vision. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of DED after cataract surgery. We searched PubMed and EMBASE and included studies on patients with DED after cataract surgery, between January 2011 and June 2020. Study-specific estimates (DED prevalence rates after cataract surgery in patients without preexisting DED) were combined using one-group meta-analysis in a random-effects model. We included 36 studies published between 2013 and 2020. We included nine of these in the meta-analysis of DED prevalence after cataract surgery. Overall 37.4% (95% CI 22.6-52.3; 206/775) of patients without preexisting DED developed DED after cataract surgery. The risk factors for DED after cataract surgery included age, female sex, systemic diseases, systemic medications, psychiatric conditions, preexisting DED, meibomian gland dysfunction, preservatives in eye drops, surgery techniques, and lifestyle. DED severity peak occurred 1 day postoperatively and persisted for at least 1-12 months following cataract surgery; therefore, consistent follow-up for DED is warranted for at least 1 month after cataract surgery. Topical administration of preservative-free diquafosol tetrasodium solution and preoperative meibomian gland treatment were effective in preventing and treating DED following cataract surgery. As more than one-third of patients develop DED after cataract surgery, careful DED management and treatment is needed after cataract surgery to improve satisfaction and vision quality.

[PMID: 35394587 DOI: 10.1007/s10792-022-02287-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate preoperatively dry eye disease (DED) in patients with pathological Tear Break Up Time (TBUT), utilising subjective Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) with its subcategories and objective Keratograph 5M characteristics. METHODS Fifty-four cataract patients were included in this prospective study having a screening slit lamp TBUT of less than 10 s and more or equal to 5 s. Subjective evaluation of DED was performed with OSDI questionnaire and objective evaluation with Keratograph 5M. Tear Meniscus Height (TMH), bulbar and limbal redness and meibography grade were evaluated. Further analysis of OSDI subcategories, Visual Function Related (VFR), Ocular Symptoms related (OS) and Environmental Triggered (ET), was performed with linear and logistic multivariate regression models. Age, gender and logMAR visual acuity (VA) were also included in our models. RESULTS Following the initial TBUT screening we identified 27(50%) normal and 27(50%) dry eye patients, using OSDI questionnaire. There was no statistical difference in TMH (p = 0.64), bulbar redness (p = 0.54), limbal redness (p = 0.72) and meibography grade (p = 0.25), between normal and dry eye OSDI group. In our regression analysis, average logMAR VA was highly associated with a higher total OSDI score (p < 0.001) and with a higher OSDI-VFR score (p < 0.001). Female gender was associated with a higher OSDI-ET score (p = 0.03). Multivariate logistic regression models were performed by sorting patients into 2 categories of normal and dry eye group according to their total OSDI,OSDI-VRF,OSDI-OS and OSDI-ET score. An increase in logMAR VA increased the odds of having abnormal total OSDI score (p = 0.007) and OSDI-VFR score (p = 0.006). Females had increased odds of having abnormal OSDI-ET score (p = 0.044). CONCLUSIONS Clinicians should be aware of OSDI limitations when screening cataract patients for dry eyes, as there is high correlation with VA. Female patients were more susceptible to environmental factors. Keratograph results should be interpreted with caution when they are evaluated in conjunction with OSDI during preoperative assessment of DED in cataract patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of phacoemulsification in patients with chronic ocular Graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT). METHODS Retrospective, observational multicenter study from 1507 oGVHD patients. From the patient files, data were collected including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), Schirmer's test I, tear film break-up time (TFBUT), corneal fluorescein staining score, postoperative complications, and pre- and post-operative topical therapy. RESULTS Seventy-three patients underwent cataract surgery in 104 eyes. In n = 84 eyes, the oGVHD NIH grade was documented; 12% (n = 12) of analyzed eyes were staged oGVHD NIH grade 1, 31% (n = 32) NIH 2 and 39% (n = 41) NIH 3. The mean BCVA improved in 82% of the eyes (n = 86 eyes). BCVA significantly increased from 0.7 ± 0.5 to 0.4 ± 0.4 LogMAR after surgery independent from oGVHD severity. The mean IOP decreased from 14 ± 4 to 13 ± 4 mmHg after surgery. Visual acuity was moderately correlated to the pre-operative degree of corneal staining (Pearson p = 0.26, p = 0.002, Cohen's effect size f = 0.29). The visual acuity decreased by 0.078 LogMar units (95% CI = 0.027-0.141) with each increase of corneal staining by one grade (p = 0.05). After surgery, corneal epitheliopathy increased significantly in 42% (n = 44) of the eyes. Postoperative complications included corneal perforation (n = 6, 6%), cystoid macular edema (n = 4, 4%), and endophthalmitis (n = 1, 1%). CONCLUSION Phacoemulsification in patients with chronic oGVHD significantly improves visual acuity, but is associated with an increased risk of complications in particular corneal epitheliopathy and corneal perforations.

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of cataract surgery on dry eye parameters of patients with dry eye disease (DED) in the medium- to long-term post-surgical period (6 months to 5 years). A cross-sectional study was conducted on 438 eyes on first visit to a tertiary clinic (219 eyes with cataract surgery within timeframe, i.e., pseudophakic dry eye group, 219 comparison eyes without such history, i.e., comparison dry eye group). Parameters evaluated include Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and standard examination for DED. A significantly greater proportion of pseudophakic dry eye group (50%) experienced frequent blurred vision (≥1 episode per week) compared to dry eye control group (38%) (OR = 1.66, 95%CI 1.13, 2.44). Those with ocular discomfort before surgery were more likely to experience blurring at least once a day. However, a significantly greater proportion of the pseudophakic dry eye group (34%) had Schirmer’s I >8mm compared to the comparison group (25%) (OR = 0.605, 95% CI 0.398, 0.921), though the difference was not clinically significant (7.51 mm versus 6.51 mm, p > 0.05). Other DED signs (e.g., overall OSDI score, Tear Break-up Time) were not found to be worse among pseudophakic dry eye group. Pre-operative counselling and preventative measures should be undertaken, especially those with suggestive symptoms pre-operatively.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The number of cataract surgeries, the most common ophthalmic surgery, is expected to increase due to ageing populations. Dry eye disease (DED) is a frequent side effect of cataract surgery, contributing to lower postoperative patient satisfaction and suboptimal quality of vision. It is unclear which eye-drops commonly used in these patients should be recommended for postoperative DED treatment. This study aims to compare the efficacy of topical administration of diquafosol sodium 3% vs hyaluronic acid 0.1% eye-drops in patients with DED after cataract surgery. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The study is designed as a single-blind randomised controlled trial. The participants will be randomly (1:1) allocated to either the diquafosol sodium 3% topical administration group (n=21) or the hyaluronic acid 0.1% topical administration group (n=21). Each group will receive its assigned eye-drop intervention over a 12-week period. The primary outcome will be measured using the total score of the Japanese version of the Ocular Surface Disease Index during the visit 5 weeks postoperatively. Both groups will be followed up after their respective eye-drop application for 12 weeks according to the intervention regimens. Secondary outcome measures including meibomian gland function assessment, tear film break-up time, keratoconjunctival staining score, maximum blink interval and tear secretion volume using Schirmer's test I will be assessed at 1, 5, 9, 13 and 25 weeks postoperatively. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study has been approved by the Juntendo Hospital Certified Review Board, Tokyo, Japan (Approved protocol V.7.0 dated 7 May 2021. Approval number: J20-018) and has been registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials. Written informed consent will be collected from every patient prior to study participation. The results of this trial will be presented at local and international meetings and submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER jRCT1031210018.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the morphology changes of meibomian glands (MGs) after cataract surgery. Setting: Hangzhou Branch of the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Zhejiang, China. Methods: In this contra-lateral eye study, 40 patients received unilateral cataract surgery for age-related cataract. All the patients underwent the evaluation of non-invasive break-up time (NIBUT) and lower tear meniscus height (TMH) before the surgery and 6 months post-operatively. The MGs were evaluated via ImageJ and Meibomian Gland Bio-image Analyzer. MG dropout, length, width, area, gland diameter deformation index (DI), and gland signal index (SI) were recorded. Results: MG length, width, area, DI, and SI were significantly decreased after cataract surgery in the study group (operated eyes, P < 0.001, P = 0.003, P < 0.001, P = 0.001, and P < 0.001, respectively) and showed no significant changes in the control group (non-operated eyes) (all P > 0.05). MG loss increased more in the study group (P = 0.030), and the changes in TMH and NIBUT were not significantly different between the two eyes (both P > 0.05). Conclusion: Cataract surgery aggravated meibomian gland morphology, such as MG loss, MG length, width, area, and SI, and produced no change in NIBUT and TMH at 6 months post-operatively.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate whether dry eye deteriorates after phacoemulsification cataract surgery, and to explore the influential factors. Methods: Studies published before February 2020 indexed on PubMed and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were retrieved. A meta-analysis, including meta-regression, a sensitivity analysis, and a subgroup analysis, were performed. Results: Twenty studies with 2,247 eyes were included in the meta-analysis, dry eye-related parameters were investigated preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively. Patients with pre-existing meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) had worsened subjective symptoms of dry eye (1.31, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.66, 1.95], P < 0.0001), a reduced tear break-up time (BUT) (−2.27, 95% CI [−2.66, −1.88], P < 0.0001), and a worse corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) score (0.75, 95% CI [0.5, 1.0], P < 0.0001) after phacoemulsification cataract surgery, whereas in the general population, the subjective symptoms score and CFS remained unchanged and BUT decreased slightly after surgery. Patients without diabetes showed significantly reduced total tear secretion after phacoemulsification cataract surgery (−1.25, 95% CI [−1.62, −0.88], P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Dry eye generally remained unchanged 1 month after phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Notably, worsened symptoms and signs of dry eye were observed more frequently in patients with pre-existing MGD. Patients without diabetes were more susceptible to reduced tearing postoperatively.

Abstract
Purpose Prospective, randomised, open-label, comparative study to evaluate efficacy of trehalose/sodium hyaluronate eye drops for post-operative discomfort and tear film stability in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Methods Patients with healthy ocular surface, subclinical, or mild dry eye were enrolled. Tear breakup time (TBUT), Schirmer test, dry eye symptoms, corneal fluorescein staining (CFS), and ocular surface disease (OSDI) evaluation were performed pre-operatively and at two and four weeks after surgery. Patients were assigned to receive trehalose/sodium hyaluronate eye drops b.i.d (Group A), or 0.9% unpreserved sodium chloride eye drops b.i.d for 4 weeks (Group B). Results One hundred and thirty-five patients were randomised, 66 patients in Group A (73.2 ± 4.5 years) and 69 patients in Group B (74.3 ± 3.8 years), 60.8% females. Fifteen patients (8 Group A) were lost at follow-up. Pre-operatively, no between-group differences were observed, and TBUT increased in Group A between the pre-operative and 2 and 4 week evaluations and was higher in group A than in Group B at 4 weeks. Schirmer test and CFS showed an improvement only in Group A four weeks post-operatively. In Group A an improvement was observed after two and four weeks in foreign body and puncture sensation, whilst a difference in blinking discomfort was observed after four weeks. In Group B we observed an improvement in puncture sensation two and four weeks after surgery. Mean OSDI scores differences between the two groups were significant at four weeks. Conclusions Trehalose/sodium hyaluronate eye drops were effective in reducing signs and symptoms of dry eye and improving tear film stability

Abstract
Purpose We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of bandage contact lens (BCL) for the management of dry eye disease (DED) after cataract surgery. Methods A total of 120 patients (140 eyes) with age-related cataract and DED were enrolled in this study. Patients underwent standard micro-incision phacoemulsification surgeries and were divided into control or BCL groups. Slit-lamp biomicroscopic examination, Ocular Surface Disease Index, keratograph analysis and Schirmer I test were executed, and the levels of tear inflammatory molecules were detected. Results In the control group, the NIAvg-BUT and Schirmer I test scores were significantly decreased at 1 week post-operation compared with baseline levels (P = 0.035 and P = 0.009, respectively). In the BCL group, the NIF-BUT and Schemer I test scores were significantly improved at 1 month after operation compared with the control group (P = 0.012 and P < 0.001, respectively). Levels of IL-6, IL-8 and ICAM-1 were significantly increased in the control group at 1 month after the operation (P = 0.005, P = 0.038 and P = 0.022, respectively), while there was no difference in the BCL group. The increase in the IL-6 level in the control group was significantly higher compared with that in the BCL group (P = 0.047). In DED patients, there were significant correlations between ocular surface parameters and inflammatory molecules. Conclusions Cataract surgery could lead to the development or worsening of DED. The application of BCLs after cataract surgery could stabilize the ocular surface and tear film, improve the corneal healing and reduce the inflammation. Collectively, our findings suggested that proper use of BCLs after cataract surgery played an effective role in the management of DED. Trial registration ClinicalTrials, NCT04100031.

Triphasic polymeric corneal coating gel versus a balanced salt solution irrigation during cataract surgery: A postoperative anterior segment optical coherence tomography analysis and confocal microscopy evaluation. J Cataract Refract Surg 2020; 45:1148-1155. [PMID: 31371007 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrs.2019.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2018] [Revised: 02/26/2019] [Accepted: 03/02/2019] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the safety and efficacy of the intraoperative use of a triphasic polymeric gel as corneal coating during cataract surgery and its effect on postoperative ocular comfort. SETTING Eye Clinic, University of Florence, Italy. DESIGN Longitudinal observational retrospective study. METHODS Data on patients who received an application of a polysaccharide blend of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, xanthan gum, and carrageenan (EyeDRO) on the corneal surface and data on patients who received a balanced salt solution during phacoemulsification surgery were analyzed. The central corneal thickness (CCT) and epithelial thickness were examined using anterior segment optical coherence tomography, and the corneal basal epithelial cell (BEC) and Langerhans cell densities by in vivo confocal microscopy. The ocular surface disease index (OSDI) score, tear breakup time (TBUT), and Schirmer test I values were evaluated. RESULTS The study comprised data on 28 patients in the coating gel group and 26 patients in the balanced salt solution group. In the coating gel group, the CCT and epithelial thickness values returned to the baseline value within 5 and 15 postoperative days, respectively; the BEC and Langerhans cell densities returned to baseline levels within 15 and 30 postoperative days. In the balanced salt solution group, the mean BEC and Langerhans cell densities were significantly different from the preoperative values at all follow-up assessments. The TBUT returned to the preoperative level at day 5 in the coating gel group. The OSDI scores returned to the preoperative values after 15 days in the coating gel group and 30 days in the balanced salt solution group. CONCLUSIONS The use of a tripolymeric gel as a corneal coating during cataract surgery played a protective role on the corneal surface and reduced postoperative discomfort symptoms.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether an association exists between dry eye disease (DED) and statin use and/or dyslipidemia. DESIGN Retrospective, case-control study. METHODS Setting: University of North Carolina (UNC)-affiliated healthcare facilities. STUDY POPULATION 72,931 patients seen at UNC ophthalmology clinics over a 10-year period. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Odds ratios (ORs) calculated between DED and a history of low, moderate, or high-intensity statin use; and ORs calculated between DED and abnormal lipid panel values. RESULTS Total of 39,336 individuals (53.9% female) were analyzed after exclusion of individuals with confounding risk factors for DED. Of these, 3,399 patients (8.6%) carried a diagnosis of DED. Low-, moderate-, and high-intensity statin regimens were used by 751 subjects (1.9%), 2,655 subjects (6.8%), and 1,036 subjects (2.6%). Lipid abnormalities were identified as total cholesterol >200 mg/dL, 4,558 subjects (11.6%); high-density lipoprotein (HDL) <40 mg/dL, 2,078 subjects (5.3%); low-density lipoprotein (LDL) >130 mg/dL, 2,756 subjects (7.0%); and triglycerides (TGs) >150 mg/dL, 2,881 subjects (7.3%). The odds ratios (OR) of carrying a diagnosis of DED given the presence of low-, moderate-, and high-intensity statin use were 1.39 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13-1.72); OR 1.47 (95% CI: 1.30-1.65), and OR 1.46 (95% CI: 1.21-1.75), respectively. The OR of carrying a diagnosis of DED given the presence of total cholesterol >200 mg/dL, HDL <40 mg/dL, LDL >130 mg/dL, and TGs >150 mg/dL were 1.66 (95% CI: 1.52-1.82), 1.45 (95% CI: 1.26-1.67), 1.55 (95% CI: 1.39-1.74), and 1.43 (95% CI: 1.27-1.61), respectively. CONCLUSIONS A history of statin use or dyslipidemia is associated with an increased odds of having a DED diagnosis. Further studies are needed to determine whether statin use and/or dyslipidemia increases the risk of DED.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate dry eye (DE) and associated meibomian gland dysfunction parameters after Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery. METHODS This is a prospective observational case series. Patients who underwent ICL implantation without previous ocular diseases or ophthalmic treatments were enrolled. Their Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), noninvasive breakup time (NIBUT), meibography, slit-lamp examination of the lid margin, corneal fluorescein staining (CFS), and Schirmer test I were examined preoperatively and at 1 and 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS A total of 117 eyes of 60 patients were enrolled, and 107 eyes completed 3-month follow-up period. OSDI, lid marginal abnormality, and meibomian gland (MG) secretion, and meibum quality score were significantly higher at 1 month postoperatively and recovered partially at 3 months after surgeries, while NIBUT was significantly decreased all the time. Patients with previous DE symptoms (OSDI score ≥12) showed not only lower Schirmer and TBUT values but also higher CFS, lid margin score, MG loss, MG secretion, and meibum quality scores compared with those in the control group after operations. Low Schirmer, NIBUT values, and high meibum quality score were determined as risk factors for DE symptoms after ICL surgery. CONCLUSIONS ICL implantation has a bad influence on the ocular surface and MG functions. The influence may be more obvious in patients with existing DE.

Abstract
AIM To review published literature concerning cataract surgery and dry eye disease (DED). METHODS A search was undertaken using the following: PubMed (all years), Web of Science (all years), Ovid MEDLINE(R) (1946 to 12 December 2019), Ovid MEDLINE(R) Daily Update 10 December 2019, MEDLINE and MEDLINE non-indexed items, Embase (1974-2019, week 49), Ovid MEDLINE (R) and Epub Ahead of Print, In-Process and Other Non-Indexed Citations and Daily (1946 to 12 December 2019), CENTRAL (including Cochrane Eyes and Vision Trials Register; Cochrane Library: Issue 12 of 12 December 2019), metaRegister of Controlled Trials (mRCT) (www.controlled-trials.com), ClinicalTrials.gov (www.clinicaltrial.gov) and WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (www.who.int/ictrp/search/en). Search terms included 'cataract surgery', 'phacoemulsification' and 'cataract extraction', combined with 'dry eyes' and 'ocular surface'. Relevant in-article references not returned in our searches were also considered. RESULTS Publications identified included systematic reviews, meta-analysis, randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case series and laboratory-based studies. Published data highlighting the burden of DED both prior and following cataract surgery were reviewed as well as studies highlighting the effects of cataract surgery on the ocular surface, intra-operative measures to reduce deleterious effects on the ocular surface and current evidence on the management options of post-operative DED. CONCLUSIONS DED is common and can be exacerbated by cataract surgery. Ophthalmologists need to assess for pre-existing DED and instigate treatment before surgery; be aware of reduced accuracy of measurements for surgical planning in the presence of DED; limit intra-operative surgical factors damaging to the ocular surface; and consider management to reduce DED post-operatively.

Abstract
The intraocular lens (IOL) selection process for patients requires a complex and objective assessment of patient-specific ocular characteristics, including the quality and quantity of corneal astigmatism, health of the ocular surface, and other ocular comorbidities. Potential issues that could be considered complications after surgery, including dry eye disease, anterior or epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, Salzmann nodular degeneration, and pterygium, should be addressed proactively. Aspheric IOLs are designed to eliminate the positive spherical aberration added by traditional IOLs to the pseudophakic visual axis. Spherical aberration may be a consideration with patient selection. Patient desire for increased spectacle independence after surgery is one of the main drivers for the development of multifocal IOLs and extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOLs. However, no one single multifocal or EDOF IOL suits all patients' needs. The wide variety of multifocal and EDOF IOLs, their optics, and their respective impact on patient quality of vision have to be understood fully to choose the appropriate IOL for each individual, and surgery has to be customized. Patients who have undergone previous LASIK or who have radial keratotomy and ocular pathologic features, including glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and epiretinal membrane, require specific considerations for IOL selection. Subjectively, patient-centered considerations, including visual goals, lifestyle, personality, profession, and hobbies, are key elements for the surgeon to assess and factor into an IOL recommendation. This holistic approach will help surgeons to achieve optimal surgical outcomes and to meet (and exceed) the high expectations of patients.

Abstract
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of eyelid hygiene on subjective symptoms, anterior blepharitis, and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) after cataract surgery. Subjects with obstructive MGD who underwent cataract surgery were randomly divided into two groups. In the eyelid hygiene group, eyelid hygiene was performed twice a day for 10 days from 3 days before to 1 week after cataract surgery. The control group did not perform eyelid hygiene. A subjective symptom questionnaire of SPEED, anterior blepharitis grade, and meibum quality and quantity was evaluated at baseline and at postoperative 1 and 4 weeks. The eyelid hygiene group (n = 36) showed decreased SPEED score after cataract surgery and the control group (n = 33) did not. Anterior blepharitis grade was worse 1 week after surgery in the control group but not in the eyelid hygiene group. The control group had significantly decreased meibum quality and quantity in both the upper and lower eyelids after cataract surgery, but the eyelid hygiene group did not. Eyelid hygiene before/after cataract surgery improved postoperative subjective symptoms and prevented postoperative exacerbation of anterior blepharitis and MGD. Thus, perioperative eyelid hygiene is recommended for patients with obstructive MGD who undergo cataract surgery.

Abstract
Dry eye disease may develop and persist after cataract surgery; however, unilateral cases have not been fully documented. This cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in five eye clinics in Japan. A total of 1023 outpatients were initially enrolled, and 89 unilateral pseudophakic subjects with 1+ year of follow-up after uncomplicated cataract surgery were included. The tear break-up times (TBUTs) and keratoconjunctival staining results were compared between phakic and pseudophakic eyes. The mean age of the patients was 69.3 ± 10.4 years (32 men, 36.0%), and the mean postoperative period was 4.6 ± 4.4 (1–20) years. For the ophthalmic parameters, the TBUTs were 4.4 ± 1.9 and 3.8 ± 1.9 s (p < 0.001), the keratoconjunctival staining scores were 0.11 ± 0.38 and 0.22 ± 0.56 (p = 0.02), the spherical equivalents were −1.27 ± 2.51 and −0.99 ± 1.45 D (p = 0.21), the astigmatic errors were 0.79 ± 0.66 and 0.78 ± 0.58 D (p = 0.80), and the intraocular pressures were 13.6 ± 2.9 and 13.5 ± 2.6 mmHg (p = 0.62) for the phakic and pseudophakic eyes, respectively. The corneal status was significantly worse in the pseudophakic eyes than in the contralateral phakic eyes, even after more than one year after implant surgery. The present results suggested that long-term ocular surface problems should be examined further since they may not originate only from surgery or postoperative ocular surface diseases.

Evaluation of the efficacy of optimal pulsed technology treatment in patients with cataract and Meibomian gland dysfunction in the perioperative period. BMC Ophthalmol 2020; 20:111. [PMID: 32188437 PMCID: PMC7081679 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-020-01357-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2019] [Accepted: 02/26/2020] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of M22 Optimal Pulsed Technology (OPT) applied in patients with age-related cataract and Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) in perioperative period. Methods This prospective observational study was carried out in the Jinan Mingshui Eye Hospital (Zhangqiu, China). We studied 60 patients (30 in the OPT treatment group and 30 in the conventional surgery group) with age-related cataract and MGD who underwent phacoemulsification and evaluated the efficacy of OPT treatment before and 1 month and 3 months after surgery. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, biomicroscopic examination of lid margins, Meibomian gland yielding secretion score (MGYSS), corneal fluorescein staining scores (CFS), tear film break-up time (TBUT), tear meniscus height (TMH) and the morphology of the MG (meibography) followed by Keratograph 5 M (K5M) were used to assess the patients’ conditions. Results There were significant differences in the scores of OSDI, MGYSS, TBUT, and CFS between the preoperative and postoperative outcomes (p < 0.05). In the OPT treatment group, the postoperative ocular surface condition was obviously better and the patient satisfaction rate was higher than those before surgery. There were significant differences in the scores of OSDI, EMAS, MGYSS and CFS before and 1 month after surgery (p < 0.05). In addition, there were also significant differences in the scores of OSDI, EMAS, MGYSS and MGLS before and 3 months after surgery (p < 0.05). No complications appeared during OPT treatment. Conclusions Cataract surgery can aggravate MGD and is detrimental to ocular surface health. OPT treatment was a safe and effective intervention for patients with MGD and cataract during perioperative period.

Abstract
Importance Reports in the literature have conflicting findings about an association between dry eye disease (DED) and migraine headaches. Objective To determine the strength of the association between DED and migraine headaches. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective case-control study included 72 969 patients older than 18 years from University of North Carolina-affiliated health care facilities from May 1, 2008, through May 31, 2018. Deidentified aggregate patient data were queried; data were analyzed from June 1 through June 30, 2018. Exposures Diagnosis of migraine headache. Main Outcomes and Measures Odds ratios calculated between DED and migraine headaches for participants as a whole and stratified by sex and age group. Results The base population consisted of 72 969 patients, including 41 764 men (57.2%) and 31 205 women (42.8%). Of these, 5352 patients (7.3%) carried a diagnosis of migraine headache, and 9638 (13.2%) carried a diagnosis of DED. The odds of having DED given a diagnosis of migraine headaches was 1.72 (95% CI, 1.60-1.85) times higher than that of patients without migraine headaches. After accounting for multiple confounding factors, the odds of having DED given a diagnosis of migraine headaches was 1.42 (95% CI, 1.20-1.68) times higher than that of patients without migraine headaches. Conclusions and Relevance These findings suggest that patients with migraine headaches are more likely to have comorbid DED compared with the general population. Although this association may not reflect cause and effect if unidentified confounders account for the results, these data suggest that patients with migraine headaches may be at risk of carrying a comorbid diagnosis of DED.

Abstract
Purpose: Dry eye disease (DED) is a common condition that significantly lowers the quality of life. As the disease grows more prevalent, multiple commercial instruments have been developed to measure the ocular surface of dry eyes, but no single device has yet been successful in comprehensive measurements. The current study aimed to investigate the clinical accuracy and utility of the Antares topographer in the diagnosis of DED.Methods: Thirty-three consecutive patients underwent analyses of their non-invasive first tear-film break-up time (NIF-BUT), tear meniscus height (TMH) and meibography with the Antares topographer. The meibography with the LipiView scan was conducted. Slit-lamp examinations were done for assessments of meibomian glands (MG) and fluorescein tear-film break-up time (FBUT). Schirmer 1 test was done. The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores were graded.Results: Thirty-three eyes of 33 patients (mean age 61.5 ± 10.6 years, range 37.5-76.4 years, 27.3% males) completed the study. According to the Antares measurements, the NIF-BUT of the patient population was 5.0 ± 3.4 seconds on average (1.1-15.0 seconds), and the TMH was 0.2 ± 0.1 mm at center (0.1-0.5 mm). The average OSDI score was 22.4 ± 16.6 points (0.0-79.5 points). When correlations were calculated, significant correlations were found between the NIF-BUT from the Antares topographer and FBUT (r = 0.538, P = .001), and between MG dropout from the Antares topographer and that from the LipiView interferometer (r = 0.446, P=.009). Antares NIF BUT and FBUT were in agreement with one another (95% limits of agreement (LOA) -5.04 ± 6.37, P=.198) as were the infrared images from the Antares topographer and those from the LipiView interferometer (95% LOA -0.25 ± 0.35, P=.073).Conclusion: The Antares topographer is useful in the diagnosis of DED. Among its outputs, the NIF-BUT and MG dropout most closely correlated with currently accepted modes of diagnosis. However, concurrent clinical examinations are recommended for clinical follow-up.

[PMID: 31477748 PMCID: PMC6718409 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-49159-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2019] [Accepted: 08/20/2019] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) after cataract surgery has become a critical concern, and various therapeutic options have been developed. Recently, preservative-free diquafosol ophthalmic solution has been introduced; however, its therapeutic effect on DED after cataract surgery has not been reported. We investigated the efficacy of preservative-free diquafosol in patients with pre-existing DED after cataract surgery. We divided subjects who were diagnosed with DED and scheduled to undergo cataract surgery, into 3 groups (preservative-free diquafosol, group 1; preservative-containing diquafosol, group 2; preservative-free hyaluronate, group 3), and each eye drops was administered 6 times daily after surgery. Tear break up time (TBUT), Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), corneal staining score, lid margin abnormality, and meibum quality improved over time in group 1. Groups 1 and 2 had significantly superior TBUT, meibomian gland dysfunction grade, and meibomian gland expressibility throughout the study period than group 3. Meibum quality of group 1 was significantly better than group 2 at 1 and 3 months after surgery. Preservative-free diquafosol showed better efficacy in treating DED after cataract surgery than preservative-containing diquafosol or preservative-free hyaluronate. Preservative-free diquafosol may serve as a reliable option for the management of patients with pre-existing DED after phacoemulsification.

Abstract
AIM To observe the changes in ocular surface and the dry eye symptoms following femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). METHODS Patients with no eye signs or symptoms in Guangzhou Aier Eye Hospital between October 2017 and September 2018, who underwent FLACS and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for age-related cataract were enrolled. Tear film stability assessed with OCULUS Keratograph 5M, Schirmer's I test (SIT), and corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) were evaluated before and after surgery at 1d, 1wk, 1, and 3mo in order. Ocular Surface Disease Index scores (OSDI) and Subjective Symptom Questionnaires (SSQs) were recorded at the same time point. RESULTS Thirty-eight eyes of 38 patients were enrolled. The noninvasive tear film break-up time (first break-up time and average break-up time) decreased in a peak at the 1wk visit, and then increased to basic levels at 1mo. The tear meniscus height (TMH) increased transiently at 1d, and declined in the following 3mo visits. The SIT had a transient increase at 1d (P=0.357) and a decrease at 1wk and 1mo (both P<0.05) but returned to the preoperative levels at 3mo after surgery (P=0.062). CFS scores were significantly improved compared with those before surgery, and had a statistical difference (P<0.05). OSDI scores and SSQs after surgery were obviously higher, and had a statistical difference (P<0.001) but didn't return to the basic level by 3mo. CONCLUSION Dry eye signs and symptoms can occur immediately following FLACS and have a peak severity on day 7 postoperatively. Most signs of dry eye can return to preoperative basic levels within 3mo postoperatively. However, all cases can not recover from CFS and dry eye symptoms at 3mo postoperatively.

Meibomian gland dropout rate as a method to assess meibomian gland morphologic changes during use of preservative-containing or preservative-free topical prostaglandin analogues. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0218886. [PMID: 31242247 PMCID: PMC6594626 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0218886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2019] [Accepted: 06/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the usefulness of meibomian gland (MG) dropout rate in the evaluation of MG morphological change associated with the use of prostaglandin for glaucoma treatment through the association between MG and the ocular surface parameters and medication duration and presence of preservative. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on 88 eyes of 88 patients who were diagnosed with glaucoma and used only Tafluprost as treatment. The patients were divided into four "user" groups: 1) 23 patients used preservative-free (PF) Tafluprost for 6 months; 2) 21 patients used preservative-containing (PC) Tafluprost for 6 months; 3) 23 patients used PF-Tafluprost for 24 months; 4) 21 patients used PC-Tafluprost for 24 months. Ocular surface parameters and the MG condition, including MG dropout rate and meiboscale, were evaluated. Multiple regression was used to identify associations. RESULTS There were significant differences in age (p = 0.003), tear breakup time (p = 0.016), lid margin abnormality (p = 0.016), expressibility (p = 0.039), meiboscale (p<0.001), and MG dropout rate (p<0.001) among the 4 groups. MG dropout rate and meiboscale showed significant differences in all post hoc analyses, except for the comparison between the PF-Tafluprost and PC-Tafluprost 6-month user groups. Medication duration, preservative status, and meiboscale were significantly correlated with MG dropout rate (p<0.001, p = 0.024, p<0.001, respectively). In the 6-month user group, preservative status significantly correlated with MG dropout rate (p = 0.015). However, in the 24-month user group, meiboscale was the only parameter significantly associated with MG dropout rate (p<0.001). CONCLUSION MG dropout rate in patients using Tafluprost showed a significant correlation with medication duration and preservative status. This result indicates MG dropout rate reflects MG morphologic change associated with prostaglandin.

Discrepancies in Persistent Dry Eye Signs and Symptoms in Bilateral Pseudophakic Patients. J Clin Med 2019; 8:jcm8020211.

Abstract
Despite the increased awareness of early prophylaxis and treatment for dry eye disease (DED) during the first few weeks after cataract surgery, the chronic effect of cataract surgery on the risk of ocular surface abnormalities has not been fully explored. This study was to assess the prevalence of DE subjective symptoms and clinical tests according to the cataract surgery. A total of 172 patients who underwent bilateral cataract surgeries at least 5 months before the recruitment date and 1225 controls with no cataracts were evaluated for their subjective DE symptoms (dry sensation, foreign-body sensation, ocular pain, ocular fatigue, sensitivity to bright light, and blurred vision) and ophthalmic parameters (tear break-up time, keratoconjunctival staining scores, and maximum blinking interval). The presence of subjective DE symptoms was generally inversely associated with cataract surgeries, whereas abnormal clinical tests were more pronounced among postsurgical cataract patients than among controls. Pseudophakic patients showed a 57% increased prevalence of severe keratoconjunctivitis, compared to controls (P = 0.02). In contrast, among subjective DE symptoms, significantly lower odds of sensitivity to bright light were detected among cases than controls; the multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) comparing pseudophakic patients with noncataract patients was 0.56 (0.34–0.92) (P = 0.02). In conclusion, persistent tear instability and corneal epitheliopathy were found even at several months or more after cataract surgery. This study demonstrates the importance of evaluating ocular surface conditions in pseudophakic patients, even if they lack DE symptoms.
