Efficacy of Warm Compress Therapy in Enhancing Tear Film Quality and Reducing Postoperative DES

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 30 to 70 years * Patients scheduled for cataract surgery (both unilateral and bilateral). * Patients with preoperative moderate to severe dry eye symptoms, which will be assessed using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI). Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with OSDI, indicating severe dry eye disease which suggests severe dry eye disease. These patients might require more intensive treatments beyond Warm Compress therapy. * Patients with systemic diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus) that affect tear production or who are using medications that severely reduce tear production (e.g., chronic use of antihistamines or systemic corticosteroids). * Patients with significant pre-existing corneal pathology (e.g., corneal dystrophies, corneal scars) that could affect the results of cataract surgery or thermal pulsation therapy. * Patients with active ocular infections (e.g., conjunctivitis, keratitis) or inflammation at the time of screening or surgery. * Patients with a history of previous ocular surgeries (excluding cataract surgery) in the study eye, such as refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK) or corneal transplants. * Patients with a known allergy or contraindication to Warm Compress therapy or its components.
