Periocular low-level light therapy (LLLT) administered before and after cataract surgery significantly alleviates dry eye symptoms, a common postoperative complication.
LLLT enhances tear film stability and reduces tear osmolarity, critical parameters in maintaining ocular surface health post-surgery.
The treatment preserves corneal epithelial integrity, as demonstrated by stable corneal fluorescein staining scores, and is free from adverse effects.
LLLT’s noninvasive, operator-independent application makes it a promising adjunct to routine perioperative care after cataract surgery.
