Results: The parameters of the tear film; (TBUT, Schirmer-1 test, and DES) had been affected in the all patients postoperatively, and improved gradually over the period of the examination to become near to the preoperative values at 90 days postoperatively. However, it was noticed that they were more affected in the diabetic group than in the non-diabetics; throughout all the postoperative measurements in comparison to the preoperative values. In addition, we found that D.M and the age of the patients were significant risk factors for the TBUT changes, and D.M only was a significant risk factor for Schirmer-1 test changes.
