Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Purpose: To compare dry eye symptoms and findings in post cataract surgery eyes’ with and without preexisting dry eye. Study design: Prospective, observational case–control study. Methods: Sixty-seven eyes that had undergone cataract surgery were included; 48 were classified into group D (preexisting dry eye) and 19 into group N (no preexisting dry eye). No subjects received perioperative treatment for dry eye. We evaluated between-group differences in symptom scores, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), tear film breakup time (BUT), tear film breakup pattern (BUP), and ocular surface fluorescein staining scores, at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. Results: Symptoms were unchanged in group N, but improved in group D (P <.001) postoperatively. CDVA was improved after surgery in both groups (P <.001). BUT was shorter preoperatively in group D than in group N although this difference was absent 1 month postoperatively. Fluorescein staining scores significantly increased at 1 month postoperatively in group N (P =.01), but did not change in group D. During the perioperative period, the predominant BUP was the random break pattern in both groups (≥ 85%). From 1 week to 3 months, dimple break patterns decreased in group D (P =.007), whereas spot break patterns increased (P =.01). Conclusions: Cataract surgery has an influence on tear film stability and the ocular surface. There was either a transient improvement or worsening of ocular surface wettability in some patients without preexisting dry eye.
