Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of 3% diquafosol tetrasodium for treating dry eye after cataract surgery.Methods: Among patients who underwent bilateral cataract surgery, 34, who met the diagnostic criteria for dry eye syndrome 1 week postoperatively, were enrolled. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 3.0% diquafosol tetrasodium ophthalmic solution in one eye and 0.9% saline in the other eye four times daily for 8 weeks. Dry eye severity was measured at 1, 5, and 9 postoperative weeks using the Schirmer 1 test (SIT), tear film breakup time (TBUT), and fluorescein corneal staining. tear meniscus height (TMH), tear meniscus depth (TMD), and tear meniscus area (TMA) measured using Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography and symptom questionnaire scores.Results: TBUT and corneal staining significantly improved 8 weeks postoperatively in eyes treated with 3.0% diquafosol tetrasodium (p < 0.01, p < 0.01) and were better than normal saline-treated eyes (p < 0.01, p < 0.01). SIT did not improve (p = 0.26). TMH, TMD, and TMA did not improve at 4 and 8 weeks. All symptom questionnaire scores improved in eyes treated with 3.0% diquafosol tetrasodium (all p < 0.01).Conclusion: The 3.0% diquafosol tetrasodium treatment improved tear film stability and subjective symptoms of dry eye after cataract surgery. Increased mucin production as a result of diquafosol treatment may have caused these results.
