Lillie Mosaddegh, MD, ABO, outlines the high expectations of cataract surgery patients for postoperative spectacle independence. She reviews the results of a study evaluating the refractive, visual, and patient-reported…

John Hovanesian, MD, describes the advantages of the unique hydrophobic acrylic material of Clareon PanOptix IOLs, and explains how this biomaterial enhances optical. He also shares results from a study on patient-reported…

Matthew Rauen, MD, explains how maintaining a near physiologic IOP during cataract surgery can help limit surgical complications. He outlines a study that assesses the effects of near physiologic versus a higher IOP during…

Presbyopia-mitigating IOL designs are important advances in refractive cataract surgery. It has been a concern for many surgeons and patients if a presbyopia mitigating IOLs should be used in patients with glaucoma. In this…

Rom Kandavel, MD, discusses the different technologies that are available to optimize refractive outcomes, and details the results of an investigator-initiated study that assessed refractive and visual outcomes using these…

Sam Multack, DO, ABO, emphasizes that, along with IOL selection, having accurate preoperative biometry is key to achieving target refraction after surgery. He discusses an investigator-initiated study in which the overall…

Laureano Rementeria, MD, describes how accurate preoperative biometry measurements help with IOL selection for good visual outcomes. He details the results of an observational, retrospective study examining refractive outcomes…

Zhang Jun, MD, describes the differences in what is considered optimal near distance across the world, and shares results from a prospective, single-arm, observational study that evaluated visual outcomes at different distances…

Satish Modi, MD, FRCSC, presents a randomised controlled study comparing visual function and patient-reported outcomes between two full-range-of-vision intraocular lenses for presbyopia correction. [IIT 689850...lled study]
