We're seeing more and
more ocular surface
disease; maybe it's
because we're fi nally
noticing it, but probably
because we now have
ways to treat it. I do fi nd
that the OPD really helps
us out. The OPD mires
quickly show you and your
technicians any corneal
distortions.

The OPD allows you to
determine the impact of
the ocular surface disease
on the visual system,
and in turn, gives you
points to talk about with
the patient. The mires
and the measurements
help gauge not just your
decision on what you
can offer the patient, but
to also create a more
reasonable expectation
for the patient.

There are a few things
that I really need in my
practice; none of my
surgical coordinators,
nor I, ever want to
perform cataract
surgery on anyone
without the OPD. It's
one of the reasons
that we detect OSD.
Previously, I didn't
always notice with the
slit lamp how dry their
ocular surface was.
Larry Patterson, MD
Eye Centers of Tennessee
The FACO study showed
that most cataract surgery
patients are asymptomatic
for dry eye. At least
50-80% of them have
objective signs, which the
OPD-Scan III will detect.
It's a great way to catch it
early, optimize treatment,
and avoid that extra chair
time post-operatively by
using the OPD.

WAVEFRONT DIAGNOSTICS FORUM | PART 4:
How to Diagnose OSD Before Cataract Surgery
The nice thing about the
OPD-Scan III placido disk
rings is they are in black
and white and easy for
patients to understand.
If the circles aren't
crisp and sharp, there's
something wrong. If
they're warped and
irregular, most people
can understand that this
is a diseased tear fi lm
and therefore treatment
is needed.
