Abstract

Dry eye is a common ocular surface disease that can occur in part of patients before cataract surgery. A variety of incentives during the perioperative period can decrease the stability of the tear film, cause or aggravate dry eye symptoms, and therefore reduce the visual outcome and life quality of the patients. In order to standardize the management of dry eye during the perioperative period of cataract surgery, the Cataract Group of the Ophthalmology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association conducted a comprehensive discussion on the evaluation and improvement of the preoperative ocular surface conditions, the intraoperative ocular surface protection, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of postoperative dry eye. The consensus of opinions has been reached for reference of Chinese ophthalmologists. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2021, 57:17-22).
