Purpose: Evaluation of incidence of dry eye after cataract surgery. Methods: A descriptive longitudinal study conducted in tertiary care hospital. Total 150 patients were included. tear meniscus height (TMH), tear film eak up time (TBUT), Schirmers test, ocular surface disease index (OSDI) parameters were studied.Results: Out of 150, 81 (54%) males & 69 (46%) females with mean age of 63.58 8.03 years, 88 (59%) subjects were operated for right eye cataract while 62 (41%) for left eye. Lower mean values of TMH, TBUT & Schirmers test were observed in operated eye in comparison with non-operated eye after cataract surgery at regular interval. Difference in mean was statistically significant (p<0.001). 18 cases diagnosed as dry eye after cataract surgery.Conclusions: Significant decreased value of TMH, TBUT & Schirmers test occurs after phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
