Abstract:
Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy(EBMD)is a common anterior corneal dystrophy with hidden and easily missed clinical manifestations. Patients usually complain of mild blurred vision or foreign body sensation, or occasional pain at night or immediately after opening the eyelid in the morning. Slit-lamp examination revealed irregular, amorphous corneal surfaces, fingerprint-like linear lesions, and punctate or bubble-like lesions. EBMD has a significant impact on preoperative biometrics and intraocular lens power calculation, which can lead to inaccurate measurement and postoperative refractive accident, and cataract surgeons must be aware of this. This article reviews recent research and conference reports on the impact of EBMD on cataract surgery, as a reference for refractive cataract surgeons, thus improving the preoperative diagnosis and detection rate, so as to provide the optimal treatment plan for patients.
