This randomized, controlled clinical study demonstrates the development of dry eye-type symptoms after routine cataract extraction, and shows that topical cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion can reduce the occurrence of these symptoms after cataract surgery. Based on these results, a regimen of pre- and postoperative topical cyclosporine should be considered for cataract patients who have dry eyes or who are at risk of developing dry eye. This paper presents the study methodology and results, and discusses implications for care of cataract patients so as to improve the quality of vision after surgery and to maximize patient satisfaction with the procedure.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 October 2024.
All research outputs
#3,349,583
of 29,660,600 outputs
Outputs from Computers & Security
#120
of 1,328 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#12,413
of 192,606 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Computers & Security
#1
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 29,660,600 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,328 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 192,606 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
