KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS , Managing ocular surface diseases (OSD), especially dry-eye disease (DED), is critical to improve visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after cataract surgery. The ASCRS Cornea Clinical Committee recommended algorithm for preoperative diagnosis and treatment of OSD is available for adoption. Performing a spectral-domain or swept-source macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) on every…

KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS, Multifocality in IOLs is achieved through refractive or diffractive optical approaches Diffractive multifocal IOLs intentionally induce diffraction so that the waves exiting the lens will have constructive interference at two or more distinct foci at different distances Zonal refractive multifocal IOLs shape the waves exiting the lens from different annular regions so that they converge to two…

Introduction , The tear film lipid layer is compromised in evaporative dry eye patients, resulting in less protection against tear evaporation.1 One of the most common causes is obstruction of the meibomian glands by stiffened meibum and cellular debris.1 Because patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) have a higher meibum melting point and lower eyelid temperature compared to healthy patients, heat…
