Pain sensitivity and autonomic nervous system parameters as predictors of dry eye symptoms after LASIK.
Abstract
Differences in pain processing and autonomic function among patients have been implicated the development of chronic pain after surgery. This study was designed to evaluate whether pain and autonomic metrics predict severity of chronic dry eye (DE) symptoms after LASIK, as there is increasing evidence that DE symptoms may be manifestations of persistent post-operative ocular pain.
