The Connection Between Dry Eyes and Cataracts:

Before cataract surgery: Dry eye symptoms can affect the accuracy of eye measurements used to choose the right IOL, leading to less precise results.

After cataract surgery: Surgery can temporarily worsen dryness since it disturbs the ocular surface and corneal nerves. Many people notice more irritation, burning, or blurry vision post-op if dry eye wasn’t treated beforehand.

Long-term: Having well-managed dry eyes improves both comfort and visual outcomes after cataract surgery.

What’s usually done:

Eye doctors often treat dry eye disease before cataract surgery with artificial tears, prescription drops (like cyclosporine or lifitegrast), punctal plugs, or lifestyle changes.

After surgery, continued treatment helps with healing and keeps your vision clear.

To learn more about dry eyes and cataracts, call (239) 936-7685.
