This study looks at how dry eye disease can affect important eye measurements needed before cataract surgery. These measurements guide us in choosing the right artificial lens to implant, which is essential for achieving clear vision after the procedure. We are currently investigating whether patients with dry eyes tend to have less reliable readings due to surface irregularities on the eye. Our goal is to better understand this connection so we can improve pre-surgical preparation for patients with dry eye and help ensure better visual outcomes after cataract surgery.
