5 Key Takeaways
-
1
Inconsistent biometry in cataract surgery often signals underlying issues with the ocular surface, cornea, or measurement process.
-
2
Tear film instability is a common cause of variable keratometry readings, particularly in older patients with dry eye disease.
-
3
Optimizing the ocular surface before repeating measurements can significantly improve biometric reliability and refractive outcomes.
-
4
Corneal epithelial mapping is crucial for detecting subtle irregularities that may not be visible during routine examinations.
-
5
A systematic diagnostic workflow is essential for addressing persistent biometric variability in cataract surgery planning.
