Publication Exclusive: Which device do surgeons prefer for optical biometry?

CEDARS (Cornea, External Disease, and Refractive Surgery Society) and ASPENS (American Society of Progressive Enterprising Surgeons) is a joint society of cornea, cataract and refractive surgery specialists, here to discuss some of the latest hot topics in ophthalmology.As surgical techniques and technology continue to improve, cataract surgeons are obtaining unprecedented success. This has led to increased patient demands, which in turn has led to surgeons trying to find every avenue possible to achieve success. While most of the attention has been paid to IOL selection, phaco and femto technology, and imaging, perhaps the most important aspect is the preoperative biometry. This month, David A. Goldman, MD, and P. Dee Stephenson, MD, FACS, ABES, FSEE, discuss the two most common devices currently being used, the Lenstar and the IOLMaster. We hope you enjoy the discussion.
