Efficacy of Warm Compress Therapy in Enhancing Tear Film Quality and Reducing Postoperative DES
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial condition often exacerbated by cataract surgery, leading to discomfort and visual disturbances. Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a key cause of DED, contributes to tear film instability, which can be managed with warm compress therapy.

Interventions
Warm Compress
The intervention involves perioperative Warm compress therapy administered to the participants in the intervention group before and after cataract surgery for 3 seesions per week for 6 weeks. The therapy aims to enhance tear film stability and alleviate symptoms of dry eye by delivering warm compress to the meibomian glands to restore their function. Participants will undergo a session of warm compress therapy prior to surgery and another one following the surgery.
Standard Care
The control group will receive standard care, which includes artificial tears or other conventional methods for dry eye management for 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks. , but they will not receive Warm Compress therapy.
