ABSTRACT
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed ophthalmic surgeries in the world. Dry eye disease (DED) is found to coexist in most patients with cataracts due to the overlapping age groups of both these conditions. Preoperative evaluation for DED is important to improve outcomes. A pre-existing DED affecting the tear film is likely to affect biometry. Moreover, special intraoperative considerations are needed in eyes with DED to reduce complications and improve postoperative outcomes. Dry eye disease (DED) is known to occur following an uneventful cataract surgery or a pre-existing DED is likely to worsen following cataract surgery as well. In these situations, despite a good visual outcome, patient dissatisfaction is common owing to the distressing DED symptoms. This review aims to summarize the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations when performing cataract surgery in the presence of a coexisting DED.
