We have come a long way in terms of identifying and treating dry eye before cataract procedures, as well as corneal pathology, but the lids are also crucial to accurate outcomes.
We need pristine measurements for our premium IOLs as well as for nailing the refractive target. When evaluating topography, if a patient’s lids are obstructing part of the cornea, we will not be able to achieve an optimal result.
Ptotic lids can change the curvature of the cornea, which will have an impact on the IOL power and cause (Read more...)
