Abstract
Background: To study dry eye following phacoemulsification surgery
 Methods: This prospective observational study was performed after selecting 100 consecutive patients over 45 years of age with senile cataract, without preexisting dry eye and other ocular disorders.
 Results: All the tests performed preoperatively and postoperatively showed incidence of dry eye to be 10.00%.
 Conclusion: We concluded that cataract surgery can cause dry eye. However, before surgery, preoperative assessment of all patients should be done properly. Patients must be informed about the possible occurrence of dry eye symptoms postoperativelyand should be managed accordingly.
