A preoperative evaluation is incredibly important when
performing cataract surgery on a pseudoexfoliation glauco-
ma patient. You should note the signs of pseudoexfoliation,
degree of pupillary dilation, and degree of zonular laxity, said
Amy Zhang, MD, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

With the ASCRS Preoperative OSD Algorithm, the goal of the ASCRS
Cornea Clinical Committee was to create a "true algorithm" that was
consensus- and evidence-based, that could be integrated into preoper-
ative surgery visits, had reliance on tech and objective testing to re-
duce chair time, and that identified all visually significant subtypes
of OSD prior to surgery, said Chris Starr, MD, New York.
Refractive enhancements are often a part of a patient's
surgical journey. Though you may want to nail it the first
time, it's important to have a plan to finish, according
to John Berdahl, MD, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, who
described his three-step process of surgery, YAG, and
enhancement.
