Effects of sodium hyaluronate on ocular inflammatory response and dry eye after phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation for cataract

AIM: To investigate the effect of sodium hyaluronate eye drops on ocular inflammatory response and dry eye after phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lenses(IOL)implantation for age-related cataract. METHODS: The clinical data of age-related cataract patients treated with phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation in 200 cases(200 eyes)of our hospital from June 2016 to July 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different postoperative application of eye drops they were divided into observation group and control group(100 cases each). The observation group was given sodium hyaluronate eye drops and the control group was given tobramycin dexamethasone eye drops. The results of BUT, FL, proteins concentration in aqueous and ocular surface disease index(OSDI)score were compared before and at the first day, the seventh day and the fourteenth day after the operation. And the incidence of conjunctival hyperemia and ciliary hyperemia was compared between 1d after surgery and 14d after surgery. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in OSDI scores between the two groups before and at 1d after surgery(P>0.05). The OSDI score of the two groups was higher than that before the operation on the first, the seventh and the fourteenth day after surgery(P
