lME Video Interview Series on Simultaneous Vision IOLs: Ocular Surface and Diagnostic Accuracy

In this episode of the ESCRS IME video interview series on simultaneous vision IOLs, Drs. Francesco Carones and Andrea Janeková explain why a healthy ocular surface is essential before cataract refractive surgery. Even mild dry eye can skew keratometry readings and IOL calculations—yet it’s often overlooked. Left untreated, dry eye can cause refractive surprises and postoperative dissatisfaction. The experts stress a thorough ocular surface evaluation and show how treating dry eye beforehand ensures more accurate results, better outcomes, and happier patients.
