[Intraoperative OCT during cataract surgery]

Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a promising tool in cataract surgery. This article explores available devices for intraoperative OCT and their practical applications in this surgical procedure. It highlights the potential benefits of this technology, particularly in evaluating incisions, detecting residual fragments, and confirming Descemet's membrane detachments. Despite its advantages, intraoperative OCT faces practical challenges, such as cost and the need for a learning curve. However, its judicious use could contribute to improving the quality and safety of cataract surgery.
