EVOLVING CONCEPTS IN ANTERIOR SEGMENT OUTCOMES: TACKLING OCULAR SURFACE DISEASE, COMANAGING PREMIUM IOL PATIENTS, AND IDENTIFYING NEW KERATOCONUS TREATMENTS

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

The pathways for surgical comanagement may not be clearly defined for cataract, refractive, and corneal patients. The health of the ocular surface is important for patient comfort and is essential for accurate preoperative measurements, so optometrists must accurately diagnose and treat various levels of ocular surface disease (OSD) and meibomian gland dysfunction. Understanding the various intraocular lens options is essential when counselling cataract patients, managing their expectations, and optimizing their postoperative outcomes. Knowing how to diagnose, monitor, and treat corneal disorders is essential in the modern surgical practice.

This educational activity provides real-world examples of how optometrists in a cataract refractive surgical setting can appropriately set preoperative expectations, manage OSDs and corneal disorders, and manage postoperative care, all of which contribute to patient satisfaction and visual outcomes following surgical procedures.

TARGET AUDIENCE:
This educational activity is intended for optometrists.
