WAILEA, Hawaii — In this Healio Video Perspective from Hawaiian Eye 2024, Jack T. Holladay, MD, MSEE, FACS, discusses spectacle independence after cataract surgery and IOL power calculations.
Holladay highlights seven factors to help provide spectacle independence, such as centration of the lens, and details for technicians on how to handle different situations.
Regarding IOL power calculations, “if you are at 80% to 84% of your patients within ±0.5 D, you are at the top of the heap. You are one of the best. And those people that tell you 90% to 95% are not telling you the truth,” he said. “They are doing it for one surgeon, one lens, and they have excluded those patients that they say are not in-bounds because 84% is as high as you can get today for ±0.5 D.”
