Capsular Opacification

Microcornea often presents with a cataract, sometimes in childhood because of syndromic associations and sometimes in adulthood with increasing nuclear sclerosis.

NEW ORLEANS — There may be a higher incidence of posterior capsular opacification after cataract surgery in eyes that previously underwent scleral buckling, according to a poster here.

In this Healio Video Perspective, Keith Effert, senior product marketing manager at Nidek, provides a demonstration of the YC-200 YAG and YC-200 S Plus SLT/YAG laser system.

An investigational IOL developed by LensGen mimics the ability of the natural lens to accommodate and increases focal range in patients with presbyopia, according to Uday Devgan, MD, the first surgeon to implant the device.

Despite decades of trying to optimize results and despite the many advances in IOL technology, achieving optimal refractive outcomes and meeting patient expectations with cataract surgery are still challenges. Results are subject to many variables, and looking at statistics, only about half of patients are within the high satisfaction range of achieving 0.5 D of emmetropia and 0.5 D or less of astigmatism.
