ASCRS Preoperative OSD Algorithm
Optimize Your OSD Treatment
The new ASCRS Preoperative OSD Algorithm developed by the ASCRS Cornea Clinical Committee provides surgeons in busy surgical practices with an easy-to-use framework for diagnosing and treating OSD. With this tool, surgeons can address OSD as part of the process for evaluating presurgical patients.

ASCRS Preoperative OSD Algorithm
Developed by the ASCRS Cornea Clinical Committee, the ASCRS Preoperative OSD Algorithm is the first presurgical-specific algorithm for diagnosing all ocular surface diseases prior to refractive surgery.
ASCRS Speed II Preoperative OSD Questionnaire
The ASCRS Speed II Preoperative OSD Questionairre was designed with the purpose of assessing the preoperative patient symptomatology in a systematic manner.
Deciphering OSD Algorithms
Presented by Christopher Starr, MD
This video reviews the need behind the OSD Algorithm as as a result of the emergence of OSD as a subspecialty and increasing complications in the field of dry eye treatment. The development of the OSD Algorithm and Speed II© Preop OSD Questionnaire are outlined, including how to appropriately utilize these valuable clinical tools.
More than 75%
of ASCRS Clinical Survey respondents were unfamiliar with the TFOS DEWS II 10 and the Delphi Panel recommendations.
More than 90%
of ASCRS Clinical Survey respondents felt that mild-to-moderate DED impacts patient satisfaction in cataract and refractive surgery.
