The body-mass index (BMI), abdominal circumference (AC), Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, tear osmolarity, Oxford ocular surface staining score, and Schirmer’s test were performed. Preoperative and postoperative values were compared.
Results: The study included 68 eyes of 68 patients (33.76±9.85 years). The BCVA was improved from 0.98±0.11 to 1.00, the BMI was changed from 45.11±2.23 to 30.70±4.92 kg/m2 (p
