NEW YORK — In this presentation from OSN New York, Nicole R. Fram, MD, Healio | OSN Associate Medical Editor, shares pearls for performing effective IOL exchanges.

“Now that we have patients that are unhappy because of dysphotopsia and other issues, if we can exchange and be able to adjust the power afterward, I think we are in a good place,” Fram said.

Fram discussed a case in which she replaced an existing IOL with a Light Adjustable Lens (RxSight) in a patient who previously received the wrong IOL.

“In this case, we have to wait for stability,” Fram said. “Even if it is 6 weeks later, we have to wait because we have to know what we are adjusting.”
