Proper preoperative assessment of the eye and periocular region is essential to verify
ocular health and vision and to obtain an optimal surgical result. A systematic approach
to reviewing the ocular history, review of systems, and pertinent physical exam will
be discussed. This is important to identify not only underlying ocular conditions
but also potentially serious systemic conditions with ocular manifestations that can
impact the patient's overall health. A thorough exam by a qualified provider is needed
if there are any management issues regarding the presence of a condition(s) that can
impact the surgical outcome.
