Technological and surgical advancements such as laser assisted cataract surgery, light adjustable lenses, better biometry, and IOLs to include monofocals, torics, extended depth of focus lenses, and multifocals offer options and predictable refractive outcomes like never before. Add in microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGs) and you have a cataract smorgasbord of options! In this lecture, an ophthalmology referral center optometrist will detail the current state of cataract surgery and what you need to know for referral.
