Optimizing Suboptimal Results Following Cataract Surgery: Refractive and Non-Refractive Management

A Concise Review and Comprehensive Guide to Improving Cataract Surgery Outcomes

Significant advances have been made in refractive surgery over the last decade. Eye surgeons today can leverage many cutting-edge intraocular lens (IOL) technologies, such as multifocal, extended depth of field, toric, accommodating, and aspheric lenses. Concurrent innovations, including optics, phacoemulsification, superior keratometry and biometry, and posterior cornea evaluation, have resulted in improved cataract surgery outcomes. Despite these advancements, common and rare complications still occur, such as dry eye, endophthalmitis, and retinal detachment. Furthermore, only 80% of cataract surgery procedures bring patients to within 0.5 diopters of their needed refraction.

Optimizing Suboptimal Results Following Cataract Surgery: Refractive and Non-Refractive Management presents the latest techniques for achieving optimal results and overcoming complications in cataract surgery. Internationally renowned ophthalmic surgery pioneers Priya Narang and William Trattler have crafted an unparalleled guide to overcoming complex cases and residual refractive errors. The book starts with six chapters on suboptimal causes and considerations, followed by dedicated sections covering refractive and non-refractive enhancements. The fourth section features chapters on keratoconus, cystoid macular edema, endophthalmitis, toxic anterior segment syndrome, vitritis, and more, including intraoperative aberrometry, futuristic approaches and advancements, and telescopic IOLs.
