New Advances in the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Dry Eye after Diabetic Cataract Surgery

Abstract

Diabetic cataract is a common complication in diabetic patients. As the diabetic population continues to expand, the number of patients with diabetic cataract is also increasing. Currently, the primary treatment is cataract ultrasound emulsification hand combined with IOL implantation. However, it has been clinically found that these patients have a high incidence of postoperative dry eye, and in severe cases, corneal epithelial defects and ulcers may also occur, which affects the patient's postoperative comfort and visual function. In order to further improve the understanding of postoperative dry eye in diabetic cataract and enhance the postoperative situation, this paper reviews and analyzes the pathogenesis and new advances in the treatment of postoperative dry eye in diabetic cataract.
