ABSTRACT

?AlM To discuss the artificial tears on the tear film of diabetic patients with dry eye preoperatively, and the influence on the tear film’s fuctional after phacoemulsification. ?METHODS: Fifty-four diabetic patients with dry eye (60 eyes) were followed up before phacoemulsification. Preoperatively, group A ( 30 eyes in 28 cases ) was treated with Hydroxyl lndican eye drops and group B (30 eyes in 26 cases) was not treated. Postoperatively, both group A and B were treated with Tobramycin Dexamethasone eye drops, Oprah Winfrey lbuprofen eye drops and Hydroxyl lndican eye drops. Dry eye symptoms, break up time (BUT), SchirmerItest (SIt), fluorescein stain test ( Fl ) were measured at 3d preoperatively, and 1, 7, 30, 90d postoperatively. ? RESULTS: At 3d preoperatively, there was no statistical differences between the two groups for dry eye symptoms, BUT, S I t, Fl ( P>0. 05 ). At 1 and 7d postoperatively, there were significant statistical differents between the two groups for dry eye symptoms (P0. 05). ? CONCLUSlON Using artificial tears before phacoemulsification can improve symptoms of the diabetic patients with dry eye and accelerate the recovery of the tear film.
