Description:
In this video interview, Douglas K. Devries, OD, discusses the negative impact of the undiagnosed and untreated ocular surface disease. He gives pearls for co-managing cataract surgery patients, screening for meibomian gland dysfunction, and approaching OSD management in patients with comorbid conditions.

Learning Objectives:
• Identify methods to improve surgical, and ocular surface and corneal disease outcomes through comanagement of cataract, refractive, and corneal patients
• Describe the impact that OSD has on contact lens wear and drop out as well as overall cataract and refractive surgery outcomes
• Compare and contrast traditional and new and emerging diagnostic tests in classifying ocular surface disease severity and differentiating MGD
• Increase confidence in making therapeutic decisions for OSD patients based on disease classification, including acute exacerbations of dry eye disease, chronic dry eye, and MGD
• Explore approaches to ocular surface toxicity when OSD patients are treated for comorbid conditions
