Dry eye syndrome following cataract surgery was concerned about recently. Two kinds of dry eye were clinically observed after cataract surgery, early dry eye and chronic dry eye. Most cases of early dry eye, who usually had the normal lacrimal secretion before surgery, were reversible and involved in some of factors associated with surgery and post-surgery medication. But most cases of chronic dry eye, who have abnormal lacrimal secretion or "borderline state" of lacrimal secretion test before surgery, may suffer from the ocular surface diseases related to irreversible dry eye disease. It is significantly important for maintaining of the ocular surface stability and recovery of vision acuity after cataract surgery to do early diagnose and promptly manage the dry eye syndrome.

I had cataract surgery Dec 19 2008 and Jan 5, 2009 I had Bausch & Lomb HD500 lens implanted. I have
not been able to read since and
My distance vision is no better. My eyes constantly burn and look
like I have pink eye. Sometimes they look like they will bleed.
Does anyone know of a superior
eye surgeon in Sacramento CA. I
was diagnosed with Dry Eye in Sept
by the same surgeon that did the
surgery.
