Effect of 3% diquafosol sodium eye drops on the prediction of intraocular lens power in predisposition to dry eye patients scheduled for cataract surgery: a prospective, observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the effect of 3% diquafosol sodium eye drops (DQS) on intraocular lens (IOL) power calculated by multiple common formulas before surgery in patients with predisposition to dry eye (p-DE) scheduled for cataract surgery.

Methods

This prospective, observational study included patients scheduled for cataract surgery at the Ophthalmology Clinic of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital between July 2022 and July 2023. A total of 50 eyes underwent repeated measurements to assess instrument stability, while 91 were divided into p-DE and control groups with mean tear break-up time (mBUT) <10 s and mBUT ≥10 s, respectively. Biological indexes were measured 5 min after DQS use in both p-DE and control groups.

Results

Following DQS eye drops application, the
