“…[6][7][8][9] Corneal surgery has been identified as one of the risk factors for the development of dry eye disease by disruption of normal ocular homeostasis by decreasing corneal sensation and changing the contour of the ocular surface as a result of the inflammation caused by its surgical trauma. [10][11][12] Clear cornea phacoemulsification has become one of the safest, most successful, and most frequently performed outpatient surgeries nowadays. As in with other corneal surgeries, it may alter the ocular surface and disrupt the normal tear function.…”

“…Benitez-del-Castillo et al (11) , analisando 48 olhos após o LASIK, relataram que a sensibilidade corneana e o filme lacrimal retornaram aos seus valores pré-operatórios somente após 9 meses da cirurgia. Porém, seus pacientes apresentavam (4) , demonstramos variação significativa na recuperação da sensibilidade corneana em pacientes submetidos ao LASIK para correção de diferentes erros refracionais, isto é, a recuperação variou de acordo com a profundidade da ablação.…”

“…Existem também autores (11) que descreveram alterações na secreção lacrimal e sintomas de olho seco como efeito colateral desta técnica. No entanto, as informações que se tem sobre estas alterações e suas implicações clínicas são limitadas e controversas.…”

“…Some preexisting conditions may be labeled as risk factors of dry eye after LASIK such as blephritis, low blink rate, low corneal sensation and low hormonal level. 5,6 Dry eye syndrome can be diagnosed on basis signs and symptoms (diagnostic test) and Schimer I, II test is also useful for evaluation of tear secretions and tear breakup test (TBUT) for tear film stability.…”
