Abstract

A number of studies have mentioned high incidence of asymptomatic dry eye syndrome before
cataract surgery and more specifically refractive surgery with Excimer Láser. Ocular surgeries
play an important role that can trigger or exacerbates this condition.1
According to the new definition in the DWES II Report: “Dry eye is a multifactorial
ocular surface disease, characterized by a tear film loss of homeostasis, accompanied by
ocular symptoms, in which tear film instability, hyperosmolarity, ocular surface inflammation
and damage and neurosensory abnormalities play etiological roles
