Dry eye disease is a common ocular surface disease in patients who are undergoing cataract surgery. The significance of dry eye disease is often underestimated or overlooked during preoperative assessment of cataract. We report an 80-year-old patient, with a background of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes, who presented with an acute corneal melt and perforation associated with undiagnosed dry eye disease and use of topical ketorolac 1 week following an uncomplicated cataract surgery. The patient underwent repeated corneal gluing for corneal perforation and was subsequently diagnosed and treated for bilateral moderate-severe dry eye disease. This case highlights the importance of meticulous preoperative assessment and management of the ocular surface, especially in patients with systemic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes prior to cataract surgery. The implication of the use of topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs following cataract surgery – which might have contributed to the process of corneal melt in our case – is also discussed.
