Fifteen patients (8 Group A) were lost at follow-up. Pre-operatively, no between-group differences were observed, and TBUT increased in Group A between the pre-operative and 2 and 4\u00a0week evaluations and was higher in group A than in Group B at 4\u00a0weeks. Schirmer test and CFS showed an improvement only in Group A four weeks post-operatively. In Group A an improvement was observed after two and four weeks in foreign body and puncture sensation, whilst a difference in blinking discomfort was observed after four weeks. In Group B we observed an improvement in puncture sensation two and four weeks after surgery. Mean OSDI scores differences between the two groups were significant at four weeks.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Trehalose\/sodium hyaluronate eye drops were effective in reducing signs and symptoms of dry eye and improving tear film stability<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10792-021-01869-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,6]],"date-time":"2021-05-06T09:03:13Z","timestamp":1620291793000},"page":"3065-3071","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Trehalose\/sodium hyaluronate eye drops in post-cataract ocular surface disorders"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3812-9219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlo","family":"Cagini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Torroni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Mariniello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giampiero","family":"Di Lascio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gianluca","family":"Martone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angelo","family":"Balestrazzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"1869_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e78657","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0078657","volume":"8","author":"N Kasetsuwan","year":"2013","unstructured":"Kasetsuwan N, Satitpitakul V, Changul T, Jariyakosol S (2013) Incidence and pattern of dry eye after cataract surgery.
