Prioritizing OSD: Pre-operative DED Evaluation in Cataract Surgery

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R,
Did you know that optimizing ocular surface disease (OSD) evaluation before cataract surgery is crucial?

The likelihood of dry eye or another OSD like allergic conjunctivitis is higher when a patient has a cataract. The mildest form of OSD can worsen post-surgery, resulting in defective vision.
Before surgery, ophthalmologists must screen for and treat pre-existing DED conditions.
Further, it is necessary to minimize intra-operative surgical factors that damage the ocular surface and plan for post-operative dry eye disease (DED) management for better outcomes.

Here's an article that shares deeper insights into the evaluation parameters of DED before cataract surgery, along with clinical study highlights.
