Efficacy of lid wipes in reducing the incidence of post cataract surgery meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)

Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2020
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of commercially available sterile lid wipes in reducing the incidence of MGD and dry eye after cataract surgery. In this prospective clinical study 40 patients undergoing uneventful cataract surgery were included. They were divided randomly into 2 groups of 20 patients each.
