VIENNA — In this Healio Video Perspective from the ESCRS meeting, José Vargas, MD, speaks about his experience as a surgeon and as a patient who recently underwent cataract surgery.
Selecting the right lens for the right patient is crucial, but it can be puzzling. The number of new premium lenses that entered the market increased by 70% between 2020 and 2023.
“Selection is more important than even the technology because if you select the wrong patient for a multifocal IOL, he is not going to be a happy patient,” he said.
He also speaks about the importance of treating dry eye preoperatively and of informing patients about the advantages and drawbacks of specific lenses, and he explains his personal reasons for choosing a FineVision trifocal IOL (BVI) for himself.
