In part one of Healio’s Lost Art of Refraction miniseries, Cynthia Matossian, MD, FACS, and Steven G. Safran, MD, discuss the importance of performing refraction.
Topics covered in this episode include what cataract surgeons can learn from the refraction process, how they can fit refraction into their busy practice and who should do the refraction.
Safran said he has a solo practice that involves a lot of complex surgery and reoperations.
“If a patient is unhappy with their previous surgery, I need to know what their actual refraction is,” he said. “And if I am going to do a lens exchange, the most important piece of information is the refraction because that is what you are going to plug into the formula to get the new power of the new lens.”
