“…However, these treatments only provide short-term relief of the symptoms. One recent clinical trial has evaluated the use of pulsed light prior to cataract surgery in patients with MGD to prevent postoperative flare-ups and obtain more sustained visual acuity and ocular comfort [ 64 ].…”

Iatrogenic Dry Eye Disease: Dealing with the Conundrum of Post-Cataract Discomfort. A P.I.C.A.S.S.O. Board Narrative Review

The incidence and prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) after cataract surgery is greatly underestimated. The severity of dry eye symptoms has been reported to peak 7 days after cataract surgery and may persist for months, significantly affecting patients' quality of life (QoL). The importance of considering surgical outcomes not only in terms of visual acuity, but also in terms of the patients' QoL, necessitates the assessment and evaluation of the ocular surface by the cataract surgeon prior to the procedure. This narrative review, drafted by the P.I.C.A.S.S.O. (Italian Partners for the Correction of Ocular Surface Alterations) board, analyses the physiopathology of post-cataract surgery DED and highlights the pre-, intra-and postoperative risk factors that may alter ocular surface homeostasis; it proposes a practical comprehensive algorithm for the prevention, treatment and management of DED associated with cataract surgery. Particular attention needs to be paid to the pre-and intraoperative risk factors to reduce the incidence of postoperative dry eye and to improve cataract surgery outcome.

“…At present, many studies have con rmed the value of TMH in the diagnosis of dry eyes, and this parameter can re ect the amount of tear secretion to some extent. Although there are some differences in the distribution range of TMH values among different populations, patients can be considered to have dry eyes when the TMH is less than 0.2 mm [21,22,23,24]. In group A, the percentage of eyes with a TMH less than 0.2 mm was 61.76% (21/34) preoperatively, 17.65% (6/34) at 1 month postoperatively, and 0 at 3 months postoperatively (Fig.…”

BackgroundWe aimed to analys and explore the changes in the lacrimal system before and after endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EN-DCR).MethodsA series of case studies was reviewed. The clinical data of 104 patients (120 eyes) who underwent EN-DCR in our hospital from March 2019 to October 2019 were selected for the study. The tear meniscus height (TMH) and the Schirmer I test (SIt) values were compared preoperatively and 1 month and 3 months postoperatively and statistically analysed by Mauchly's test of sphericity and the Pearson correlation coefficient.ResultsThe TMH decreased across all 3 timepoints, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The TMH values were measured 3 times in 120 eyes and showed three patterns: increased steadily (34 eyes), descended first and then ascended (32 eyes), and decreased steadily (54 eyes); the changes in the three patterns were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were a significant increases in SIt values among the three timepoints, and the SIt values gradually increased when the SIt values were < 10 mm/5 min preoperatively. However, there was no significant difference in SIt values when the SIt values were ≥ 10 mm/5 min preoperatively. The TMH was highly correlated with the SIt value preoperatively (r = 0.763), moderately correlated at 1 month postoperatively (r = 0.515), and not correlated at 3 months postoperatively (r = 0.097).ConclusionsEN-DCR has a certain degree of influence on the tear system, which is not only reflected in the tear drainage system, but also in the tear secretion system and the interaction between the two systems; however, excess tear drainage, can also alleviate dry eyes.Funding programmeJoint Fund Project of Hubei Provincial Health Select Committee (No. WJ2019H318); General Key Projects of Medical Research in Wuhan City, Hubei Province (No. WX19A03)

“…It has an excellent ability to control the energy pulse, which eliminates the technical disadvantages of IPL energy peak and energy decline. This allows operators to control the treatment process with uniform energy outputs, 24 and is also associated with more accurate and effective energy release. Increasing the gap between the treatment energy and the burn energy, and greatly improves the safety, effectiveness, and reproducibility of the treatment.…”

Sensitive skin (SS) is a condition that mostly affects women in which the skin overreacts under physiological or pathological conditions, and mainly occurs on the face. It is characterized by the appearance of tingling, burning, itching, and tightness in response to various factors, but often lacks specific clinical signs. The number of SS patients is increasing day by day. According to epidemiological data, the global prevalence rate of SS has reached 40%. 1 However, most of the time the patients only experience discomfort without clinical signs. 2 The pathogenic mechanism of SS is a complex process, involving impaired epidermal barrier function, 2,3 the reaction to external stimuli is enhanced, 4 and cutaneous immune cells also play a crucial role
