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
corneal distortions that
are present.

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 are talking
points to help gauge not
just your decision on
what you can offer the
patient, but to also create
a much 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 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.

PART 4:
HOW TO DIAGNOSE OSD BEFORE CATARACT SURGERY
The nice thing about the
OPD-Scan III placido disk
rings is it's black and white
and easy 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.
