Achieving Success with Cataract and Refractive Technology

As premium IOLs gain prominence in the field of cataract surgery, ophthalmic surgeons are asked to evaluate the benefits and disadvantages of each lens. Given that every patient presents with a unique set of circumstances and needs, discerning the differences between IOLs and how they will impact visual outcomes for every patient is left to the experience of the physician. This supplement serves to inform and educate the ophthalmic surgeon on the advantages to a few classes of lenses as well as provides overall comprehensive advice on how to incorporate these lenses into a practice.
