| dc.description.abstract | Introduction : Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface
characterized by loss of tear homeostasis and accompanied by symptoms of tear instability
and hyperosmolarity, inflammation and damage to the ocular surface as well as
neurosensory abnormalities, resulting in ocular discomfort, visual disturbances, stability of
the tear film, with the potential for damage to the surface of the eye, on of the factors
responsible is surgery there is a decrease in breakdown time of the tear film, a decrease in
mucin production which can cause complain to patients
Objective : To know the evaluation of dry eye syndrome in cataract patient who were
given and not given diquafosol 3% before and after phacoemulsification + IOL
Methods : The design this study was observational analytic using a prospective cohort
design.
Result: There was no difference in Schimer test results between the intervention group
(p=0.157) and the control group (p=0.622) before and after cataract surgery by
phacoemulsification + IOL method, and also no difference between two intervention and
control groups. There was a significant difference in the Ferning test in the two groups. In
the pre-operative intervention group, the predominant group was type 4, a total of 13
people (72.2%) 1 month after surgery, the predominant type was type 2, a total of 14
people (77.8%). The preoperative control group was dominated by type 2 with a total of 9
people (50%) one month after surgery, type 4 dominated with a total of 16 people (88.9%).
The mean TBUT between the intervention group and the control group had a statistically
significant difference, before surgery (p=0.032), 1 week after surgery (p<0.001) and 1
month after surgery (p<0.001) in terms of mean TBUT. average in the intervention group.
in the intervention group was 11.44 seconds and in the control group it was 5.72 seconds.
The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the SPEED test
according to the observed time points in both the intervention group and the control group.
The Mann Whitney test showed that there was a difference in the results of the SPEED test
in the intervention group and the control group at 1 week postoperatively (p<0.001) and 1
month postoperatively (p<0.001).
Conclusion : there are differences in the results of the TBUT test, ferning and the SPEED
questionnaire in senile cataract patient who were given and not given diquafosol 3% before
and after the phacoemulsification + IOL | en_US |
