OCULAR SURFACE DISEASE: IMPACT ON PRE-SURGICAL BIOMETRY AND SYMPTOMS IN REFRACTIVE AND CATARACT SURGERY.

The high prevalence of DED in the pre-surgical population puts untreated DED patients at risk for continued ocular surface discomfort and inaccurate biometry measurements used to calculate intraocular lens implants leading into surgery.
