Optimizing the ocular surface is only part of the equation. Successful implementation requires effective co-management, communication, and real-world application. In this case-based session, attendees will work through real patient scenarios across refractive, cataract, and corneal procedures, illustrating how preoperative optimization influences surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction. The course will also focus on how to collaborate with surgeons, determine surgical readiness, and navigate common challenges in patient management. Participants will leave with practical insight into integrating ocular surface optimization into everyday practice, along with strategies to strengthen referral relationships and co-management partners.

Feedback from anonymous survey:
Such an important, under-appreciated topic
Very cogent and pragmatic topic. Very well presented! The best CEIOL outcomes I see are the ones that have the best corneas (including my own) going in!
Thank you for the case studies!
As a student the topic is helpful for future clinical practice.
Great lecture. Really tied things together. Sure, cataract surgery can enhance vision but if we neglect the ocular surface patients will still struggle.
Great presentation by knowledgeable ODs!
Thank you for the handouts! Very helpful to follow along and refer back to at a later date.
This is a very important role for us.
This program was very informative and clear at understanding the importance of mitigating dry eye conditions prior to cataract surgery.
