〔Abstract〕 Objective Analysis of curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine ultrasonic atomization fumigation combined with intense pulse light (IPL) in the treatment of diabetic patients with dry eye after cataract surgery. Methods A total of 60 diabetic patients with dry eye after cataract surgery who were admitted to Ningde Municipal Hospital of Ningde Normal University from June 2018 to June 2020 were selected and divided into an observation group and a control group, with 30 cases (60 eyes) in each group. The observation group received ultrasonic atomization fumigation combined with IPL therapy. The control group was treated with eye drops, and the Results were recorded for statistical analysis. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference in Meibomian gland secretion character (MGYSS) score, ocular surface disease index (OSDI) and tear film break-up time (BUT) between the two groups (P > 0.05); The MGYSS score and OSDI of the patients in the two groups were decreased to varying degrees, and the BUT was prolonged to varying degrees, and the MGYSS score and OSDI of the observation group were lower than those of the control group after 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months of treatment. The BUT was longer than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). During the treatment period, there were no obvious complications in the two groups. Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine ultrasonic atomization fumigation combined with IPL has a good curative effect in the treatment of dry eye in diabetic patients after cataract surgery, so that diabetic patients can obtain a better visual experience after cataract surgery
