Popis: To evaluate changes in ocular surface indices and tear cytokines after cataract surgery in type 2 diabetic patients.Ocular surface indices and concentrations of tear cytokines (MCP-1, IL-6, IL-8, and VEGF) were evaluated at baseline and one week and one month postoperatively.Patients (30 diabetic and 30 control) were enrolled. In the diabetic group, changes in ocular symptom and tear breakup time remained until one month postoperatively (Diabetic patients can experience more prominent changes after surgery and these changes were accompanied by an increase of several tear cytokines.
