Dry eye is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface characterized by a loss of homeostasis of the tear film.

In clear corneal phacoemulsification surgeries, the ocular surface may alter and disrupt normal tear function. We wanted to determine the proportion and severity of dry eye following clear corneal phacoemulsification surgery.
