Summary
Corneal epithelial dysfunction (CED) can occur after cataract surgery, causing corneal edema and staining. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent serious complications like corneal ulceration.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Corneal diseases
Background:
- Corneal epithelial dysfunction (CED) involves impaired corneal cell functions without limbal stem cell decompensation.
- Post-cataract surgery patients may develop CED due to systemic issues or preoperative management, presenting as corneal edema and staining within 1-2 weeks.
- Untreated CED can lead to persistent corneal defects or ulceration.
