Abstract
Abstract Ocular surface disease, particularly dry eye disease (DED), is one of the most common conditions influencing quality of life, and morbidity is increasing with changes in the environment, way of life and age composition, especially in females and old people. Since age-related cataract is the most common reason for patients to undergo phacoemulsification, the overlapping demographics aggravate the incidence and severity of DED even further after cataract surgery. Furthermore, cataract surgery has been shown to lead to worsening DED, which may lead to a dissatisfaction with vision quality and an increase in complications. This review discusses the related factors of DED in the perioperative period of cataract surgery and the latest advances in treatment. Key words: cataract surgery; dry eye disease; treatment
