Discussion workshop: Preparing your patient for cataract surgery - what do you need to tell them?

Practitioners will recognise the ocular and patient characteristics that can make cataract surgery more challenging
Practitioners will recognise how patients presenting with ocular hypertension are managed ahead of cataract surgery
Practitioners will identify how patients with dry eye should be managed ahead of cataract surgery.
