Optimizing the Ocular Surface Before and After Cataract Surgery

The role of perfluorohexyloctane in dry eye management

Share

Dry eye disease (DED) significantly impacts patients undergoing cataract surgery by compromising the ocular surface. This study evaluates the use of perfluorohexyloctane ophthalmic solution (PFHO) in enhancing ocular stability without interfering with preoperative measurements crucial for intraocular lens (IOL) selection. Results showed that PFHO treatment improved ocular surface health and refractive predictability while significantly reducing symptoms of dry eye. The study emphasizes effective management of DED to ensure optimal surgical outcomes.
