Abstract
The tear film can be considered the first refractive layer of the eye; however, its importance has been not receiving the proper attention, especially before cataract and refractive surgeries. The accuracy of regular pre surgical investigations like keratometry and aberrometry can be hugely affected by the quality of the tear film. In addition, dry eye and other corneal and conjunctival problems can easily compromise the final refractive result even after a prestine uncomplicated surgery. In this presentation, I’ll bring evidence based data to convince the importance of the ocular surface proper assessment and management timely, including diagnosis tools and updated treatment of ocular surface most common diseases.
