Thermal pulsation treatment before cataract surgery can improve refractive outcomes

Visual outcomes improved in patients who underwent treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction before cataract surgery, according to a study.
Refractive targets within 0.25 D and 0.5 D were achieved when LipiFlow thermal pulsation treatment (Johnson & Johnson Vision) was done preoperatively and surgical management was re-planned after the treatment.
