Regular use of Systane COMPLETE in dry eye subjects before cataract surgery may optimize the ocular surface.
None
Unable to answer the questions in the dry eye survey.
Ocular trauma or ocular surgery in the planned surgical eye, active ocular infection, and obvious abnormalities in ocular surface or eyelid margins other than MGD cause decreased visual acuity other than cataracts.
Dry eye signs: Corneal Fluorescein Staining CFS (+) to exclude any corneal abnormalities or epithelial defect
Systemic drug use, including tetracycline derivatives, antihistamines, and isotretinoin.
Single group
Systane COMPLETE
DrugPreop dry eye management using Systane COMPLETE can help to optimize the ocular surface.
OSDI Dry Eye Questionnaire
The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire is a tool designed to evaluate dry eye symptoms, focusing on three aspects: self-reported eye discomfort, visual function impairment, and environmental triggers. The questionnaire contains 12 items, each rated on a scale from 0 to 4, with a total score ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate more severe dry eye symptoms. The OSDI questionnaire has high reliability and validity, aiding healthcare professionals in quickly assessing the severity of dry eye, making it suitable for clinical diagnosis and treatment evaluation.
Preoperative Assessments for Cataract Surgery at NTUH: Vision Measurement
Vision measurement is a core component of the preoperative baseline assessment, providing information on the patient's uncorrected and corrected visual acuity. This data helps determine the necessity of surgery and establish postoperative vision expectations.
Preoperative Assessments for Cataract Surgery at NTUH: Biometry
Biometry is an essential part of the preoperative evaluation, providing critical measurements that guide the selection of the appropriate intraocular lens. This assessment ensures precise surgical planning and contributes to achieving optimal visual outcomes postoperatively.
Preoperative Assessments for Cataract Surgery at NTUH: Pentacam(Corneal topography maps)
Pentacam is a vital component of the preoperative assessment, offering detailed corneal mapping that aids in evaluating corneal structure and detecting any abnormalities. This information supports surgical planning and enhances the accuracy of intraocular lens selection, contributing to improved postoperative visual outcomes.
