Watch the full episode of Ocular Surface and Diagnostic Accuracy on ESCRS Educational Forum:

A stable and healthy ocular surface is fundamental to achieving accurate biometry and predictable refractive outcomes—yet it is often underestimated in cataract refractive surgery planning.

In this episode of the ESCRS IME video interview series on Simultaneous Vision IOLs, Drs. Francesco Carones and Andrea Janeková explain how even mild dry eye disease can distort keratometry readings and IOL calculations. When left unrecognized or untreated, ocular surface disease may lead to refractive surprises and postoperative dissatisfaction.

The experts emphasize the importance of comprehensive ocular surface evaluation and proactive treatment before surgery. By addressing dry eye early, surgeons can improve measurement accuracy, enhance surgical outcomes, and ultimately deliver better patient experiences.
