Introduction

Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial condition that affects the surface of the eye, characterized by an imbalance of tears accompanied by symptoms of tear instability, hyperosmolarity, inflammation, and damage to the surface of the eye. This can cause discomfort in the eye, visual impairment, and potential damage to the surface of the eye. One of the factors that contribute to this syndrome is surgical measures, which can cause a decrease in tear film when the tears and decreased mukin production, thus disrupting the patient's comfort.

Dry eye syndrome is a common complication in patients undergoing cataract surgery, and it can significantly impact the quality of life of these patients. The use of diquafosol 3% has been shown to be effective in improving tear quality and reducing the symptoms of dry eye syndrome in various studies. However, there is a need for further research to evaluate the effectiveness of diquafosol 3% in patients with senilis cataracts undergoing fakoemulsification with intraocular lenses (IOL).

This article aims to evaluate the dry eye syndrome in patients with senilis cataracts given and not given in quafosol 3% before and after undergoing fanoemulsification with intraocular lenses (IOL).

Methodology

This study is designed with an observational analytic approach using prospective cohort designs. Senilis cataract patients involved in this study are divided into two groups: 3% intervention groups receiving diquafosol and control groups that do not receive the treatment. Evaluation is carried out before action and at various points of time after surgery.

The study was conducted in a university hospital, and a total of 30 patients with senilis cataracts were recruited for the study. The patients were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The intervention group received diquafosol 3% before and after surgery, while the control group did not receive any treatment.

Results

The results showed that there were no significant differences in the schhhhirmer test between the intervention group (p = 0.157) and the control group (p = 0.622) before and after the fanoemulsification + iol. However, there are significant differences in the ferning test between the two groups. In the intervention group before surgery, type 4 dominated with a total of 13 people (72.2%), while one month after operation, type 2 dominated with a total of 14 people (77.8%). In the control group, type 2 dominates preoperatives with a total of 9 people (50%) and type 4 dominates one month after surgery with a total of 16 people (88.9%).

In terms of the mean tear break-up time (tbut), a significant difference was found between the intervention and control group with P <0.001 at the point of time before and after surgery. The average tbut in the intervention group is 11.44 seconds, whereas in the control group only 5.72 seconds. In addition, the analysis shows a significant difference in the speed test between the two groups in the first postoperative week (p <0.001) and one month after operation (p <0.001).

Conclusion

Based on the results of the study, there are significant differences in the results of the tbut, ferning, and speed questionnaire results between the cataract patients given and not given 3% diquafosol before and after fanoemulsification + iol. This study shows the importance of using 3% diquafosol in the management of dry eye syndrome in cataract patients, especially after surgical procedures. Thus, diquafosol can be an effective therapy choice to improve tear quality and minimize the symptoms of dry eye syndrome in postoperative patients.

Further evaluation and further research are expected to provide a deeper insight into the effectiveness of 3% diquafosol in the management of dry eye syndrome in a wider population.

Recommendations

Based on the results of this study, the following recommendations can be made:

  • The use of diquafosol 3% should be considered as a treatment option for patients with senilis cataracts undergoing fakoemulsification with intraocular lenses (IOL).
  • Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of diquafosol 3% in patients with dry eye syndrome in various populations.
  • The study should be replicated in a larger sample size to confirm the findings of this study.

Limitations

This study has several limitations that should be considered when interpreting the results:

  • The sample size of this study was small, and the results may not be generalizable to a larger population.
  • The study was conducted in a university hospital, and the results may not be representative of patients in other settings.
  • The study did not control for other factors that may affect the results, such as the type of cataract surgery or the type of intraocular lens used.

Future Directions

Future studies should aim to:

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of diquafosol 3% in patients with dry eye syndrome in various populations.
  • Compare the effectiveness of diquafosol 3% with other treatments for dry eye syndrome.
  • Investigate the mechanisms by which diquafosol 3% improves tear quality and reduces the symptoms of dry eye syndrome.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this study shows that the use of diquafosol 3% before and after fakoemulsification with intraocular lenses (IOL) can improve tear quality and reduce the symptoms of dry eye syndrome in patients with senilis cataracts. The results of this study suggest that diquafosol 3% can be an effective therapy choice for patients with dry eye syndrome in cataract patients, especially after surgical procedures. Further research is needed to confirm the findings of this study and to evaluate the effectiveness of diquafosol 3% in patients with dry eye syndrome in various populations.
