Now a days, cataract surgery has become one of the most common surgeries, not only with the aim of extracting the opaque lens, but also with the development of surgery as a refractive correction method, especially in younger and fully active patients. This has led us to have more demanding patients, with the focus on both the visual result and the independence in the use of glasses after surgery. For this reason, it is very important to carry out a detailed presurgical assessment of the patient. Due to an increase in the prevalence, the dry eye syndrome (DES) has gained significant relevance in recent years. According to numerous published jobs and our own experience, the optimal visual results are closely related to healthy ocular surface. The DES is one of the main causes of the ocular surface alteration. Determine its origin and proper treatment previously, improves post surgical visual outcomes. The aim of the talk is to focus on aspects to be considered when proposing this type of surgery in a patient who suffers from the dry eye syndrome.
