Course Description:
This course covers the diverse range of intraocular lenses (IOLs) available, from standard to advanced technology options especially on the topic presbyopia-correcting lenses. Key topics include understanding IOL nomenclature, comparing different designs, achieving spectacle independence, Available options for reducing spectacle dependence if PCIOL is not the option and managing patient expectations for phakic IOL implantation. The course also explores the limitations of PCIOL and alternative options, like monovision and blended vision. Case studies comparing various IOL technologies will illustrate clinical decision-making. Additionally, strategies for addressing patient needs and managing corneal higher order aberrations post-LASIK will be discussed.
