Carlos Buznego, MD on Presbyopic IOL Procedures
William Trattler, MD and Carlos Buznego, MD discuss presbyopic IOL technology in cataract surgery. Patient selection for these lenses involves assessing patient needs and conducting a variety of preop tests: super pinhole (potential acuity meter), corneal topography to rule out irregular astigmatism, macular OCT to rule out epiretinal membrane. Dr. Buznego has developed a mnemonic for his approach R-E-S-T-O-R: Retina (use NSAIDs to prevent cystoid macular edema), Emmetropia (hit the target), aStigmatism (look at pre and postop topography), Tears (dry eye is often a problem in variable vision), Opacified posterior (Read more...)
