Abstract

Over time, the evolution of cataract surgery and optical biometrics has led to surgeons have on hand instruments capable of promoting the elimination of ametropia residuals and minimize optical aberrations. However, the expected results in surgery cataracts depend mainly on good surgical planning, involving aspects such as the choice of intraocular lenses and precise routines to identify pathologies that may affect the ocular surface. In this context, this study aimed to carry out a review broad bibliographical, through exploratory methodology, where databases were used digital with selected works by authors relevant to the topic. It was concluded that the evaluation of homeostasis or identification of changes in the ocular surface before performing the biometry in the preoperative period of cataract surgery is of fundamental importance for the understanding the impact of these changes, allowing early identification and the treatment of ocular surface diseases such as dry eye in its different degrees of classification, contributing to the best choice of intraocular lenses and lower chances of refractive errors and residual ametropia.
