Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R, Do preoperative diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease (DED) or ocular surface disorder (OSD) help improve post-surgical outcomes? DED can alter the outcomes of corneal, cataract, and refractive surgery, resulting in poor visual activity and postoperative patient satisfaction. Gaps in clinical proceedings, a lack of guidelines, and the complexities of OSD management have led the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) Cornea Clinical Committee to draft an OSD algorithm and questionnaire for the preoperative diagnosis and treatment of surgery candidates. We bring you an exclusive article discussing the impact of preoperative DED diagnosis and treatment on post-surgical outcomes. Highlights: - ASCRS OSD algorithm
- ASCRS-modified Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) II questionnaire
- COVID-19 and DED
- Merits of OSD algorithm
- Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery
