What is the most common complication following cataract surgery?
What is the most common complication following cataract surgery?
A long-term consequence of cataract surgery is posterior capsular opacification (PCO). PCO is the most common complication of cataract surgery. PCO can begin to form at any point following cataract surgery.
What is the best monofocal IOL?
Monofocal Lenses Fifty-four percent of the surgeons say they use the Alcon IQ Aspheric IOL for most of their cases, while 31 percent prefer the J&J Vision Tecnis one-piece lens.
How much does a monofocal IOL cost?
In 2019, the average cost of refractive lens exchange with a standard monofocal IOL implant was $3,783 per eye, according to a large survey of U.S. cataract and refractive surgeons.
What causes pressure in your eye after cataract surgery?
Increased IOP in the first day or two after cataract surgery is typically due to retained ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) in the eye. Our dispersive agents adhere so well to tissues that sometimes our usual irrigation/aspiration probe fluidic and vacuum settings are insufficient to fully remove the viscoelastic.
Are multifocal intraocular lenses better than monofocal IOLs?
Existing systematic reviews have generally concluded that multifocal IOLs result in better uncorrected near vision and greater spectacle independence, but more unwanted visual phenomena such as glare and halos, compared to monofocal IOLs.
Can multifocal intraocular lenses improve vision after cataract surgery?
Purpose: Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) offer the possibility of spectacle-free vision following cataract surgery compared to standard IOLs.
Does inadequate pupil size affect visual acuity after multifocal IOL implantation?
Inadequate pupil size affects the visual acuity after multifocal IOL implantation because the pupil size determines the multifocal IOLs zones used. Patients with very small postoperative pupils and complaining about poor near vision should be treated with the use of cyclopentolate drops or a 360° argon iridoplasty (0.5 s, 500 mW, and 500 micra).
What lens features do cataract surgeons prefer in IOLs?
This month, cataract surgeons provided their opinions on IOL technology, from monofocal and multifocal/extended-depth-of-focus lenses to toric IOLs. They also shared their thoughts on which lens features, such as toricity and blue-light blocking, they found to be most useful in their practices.
