Efficacy of 2% Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose and Bandage Contact Lens for the Management of Dry Eye Disease after Cataract Surgery

CONCLUSIONS: The application of 2% HPMC in cataract surgery has a certain effect on managing dry eye after cataract surgery. Although the use of BCLs after cataract surgery has some benefits, it may cause mild ocular surface inflammation. Nevertheless, using 2% HPMC with BCLs in the perioperative phase of cataract surgery can alleviate the subjective discomfort of patients and can safely and effectively replace eye patch after cataract surgery.PMID:38333732 | PMC:PMC10853018 | DOI:10.1155/2024/8415425
