Intraocular Lens

The year’s third issue of the Video Journal of Cataract, Refractive, and Glaucoma Surgery, which advances the knowledge and surgical training of eye surgeons through video-based education, is now online.

Zeiss has introduced several technological and software applications as part of the Zeiss Medical Ecosystem.

While it is rare, there are some patients who will benefit from an IOL exchange.

When matching a patient to an IOL before refractive cataract surgery, it is important to recognize that there is no such thing as “one size fits all,” according to a speaker at the Women in Ophthalmology Summer Symposium.

Patients younger than 40 years with non-presbyopic hyperopia had good visual outcomes after refractive lens exchange with trifocal IOL implantation, according to a study published in the Journal of Refractive Surgery.

The first few cases with a new IOL are always exciting.

There are a couple of different considerations when putting an advanced technology lens in a patient who has at least signs of macular degeneration vs. more advanced changes in the retina.

Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in people older than 60 years in the United States, affecting an estimated 11 million to 15 million individuals.

Decades ago, foldable IOLs allowed us to advance cataract surgery to smaller incisions that were about 3 mm to 4 mm in width. An IOL with a 6-mm optic could be folded in half and then inserted with forceps.

LAS VEGAS — In this Healio Video Perspective from the ASCRS meeting, Edward Hu, MD, PhD, discusses data from a retrospective analysis of toric IOL implantations, including comparative rotation rates.
