This talk will explore the critical role of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and ultra-widefield imaging in the pre- and post-operative management of cataract surgery. By using these advanced imaging modalities, ophthalmologists can enhance diagnostic accuracy, optimise surgical planning, and identify retinal or macular pathologies that may affect surgical outcomes. The session will cover how OCT and ultra-wide imaging can guide clinical decision-making, mitigate surgical complications, and ensure better post-operative care and long-term visual outcomes.
