1) Refractive Lens Exchange means that the primary purpose of surgery is to reduce or eliminate the need for eyeglasses.2) Cataract Surgery means that the primary purpose of surgery is to improve functional vision impaired by lenticular opacification. 3) Refractive Cataract Surgery means that the primary purpose of surgery is to improve functional vision impaired by lenticular opacification and the secondary purpose of surgery is to reduce or eliminate the need for eyeglasses. 4) Dysfunctional Lens Surgery means that the primary purpose of surgery is to improve functional vision impaired by lenticular aberrations.5) Refractive Dysfunctional Lens Surgery means that the primary purpose of surgery is to improve functional vision impaired by lenticular aberrations and the secondary purpose of surgery is to reduce or eliminate the need for eyeglasses.
Steps of Phaco
• Patient selection
• Preoperative assessment and counseling
• Incision
• Rhexis
• Hydrodissection
• Phaco / Cortex removal
• IOL Insertion
Preop Cataract Surgery Considerations
• Preop Factors– Surface– BMD, Stromal or Endothelial Dystrophies
• Previous Refractive Surgery– Flap related issues– Radial Keratotomy– Hyperopia vs Myopia
• Retinal Abnormalities– Diabetes Stabilization– ARMD– Epithelial membranes / Lamellar holes
Fuchs’ Corneal Dystrophy
• 62 female: R 20/50 L 20/80
• Pachs: 635/675 microns
• NS Cataract 2/4, Fuchs 2/4
• Left Cataract Sx with IOL
• 1 wk. po, 20/70, Pachs: 722
• 2 months po, CF 2 ft.
• 3 months po, Left DSAEK
Fuchs and CataractStaged or Combined Procedure
Staged
• Decreased risk for intraoperative complications
• DSAEK alone allows for easier to insert graft
• If complication with cataract surgery alone, just deal with it and come back later when eye quiet
Combined
• It only makes sense to do both if warrants surgery
• Saves patients surgery and travel time
• Patients get vision back more rapidly
IOL Calculations
• Current Methods
– Spherical
• Wang-Koch
– Toric
• Other Considerations
– SIA (Surgical Induced Astigmatism)
– SA Matching (Spherical Aberration)
Toric Calculation Factors
• Incision location and SIA
– Surgically Induced Astig
• Need to know
– Correct steep meridian
– Power difference between principal meridians
#1 Correct steep meridian
• Topographic axial power map is the primary instrument to determine steep meridian
• Regular astigmatism has a pair of symmetric astigmatic power lobes aligned along same meridian
#2 Correct Power Difference
• Best done using small zone autokeratometry, not Sim-Ks.
• Manual keratometer ( B&L or Javal)
• Use steep meridian from previous step and rotate drum for a second reading
What is SPHERICAL ABERRATION (SA)?
In a lens system, peripheral rays are refracted more than central rays
(positive SA).
Blur interval
Correction of SA can improve contrast sensitivity, as much as 32%.1,2
Reduction of SA is optimal for visual quality when approaching 20/20.3

Aspheric– Toric – Multifocal
Technology Advancements
• Toric Alignment
– Standard
– Advanced Intraoperative Toric Alignment
• Callisto: Computer Assisted Cataract Surgery (Zeiss)
• Verion: Image Guided System (Alcon)
• Aberrometry– ORA Intraoperative Aberrometry (Alcon)

Toric Classic 3 Step Marking
1. Marking horizontal axis preoperatively ………………….…. 2.4 degrees
2. Marking the limbus at the horizontal position ………….. 3.3 degrees
3. Use horizontal marks to position alignment axis ……… 2.6 degrees
Together the three errors led to a mean total error of in Toric alignment of 4.9 +/- 2.1 degrees , but an individual error could be as high as 10 degrees. A misalignment of more than 10 degrees is generally regarded as an indication for surgical repositioning.

Optical Synergy
A patient’s visual outcome following cataract surgery is affected by a multitude of factors, many which are directly attributed to the IOL.
Multiple lens design and material attributes affect quality of vision, including:
1. Spherical aberration correction
2. Chromatic aberration correction
3. Light transmission
4. Material clarity
5. Lens epithelial cell (LEC) migration
– For multifocal lenses, these attributes are even more critical and there are further considerations such as pupil-independence
82

1. Spherical Aberration Correction
Residual spherical aberration of monofocal lenses (4 mm pupil)*
83
*Data on file. Abbott Medical Optics Inc.
Full correction of spherical aberration results in sharper focus of light

4. Incidence of Glistenings
AMO® IOLs are not associated with glistenings
– A study found that while the AMO®
acrylic material had no lens with glistenings higher than Grade 1, the AcrySof ® lenses had some Grade 2 glistenings7
– AMO’s proprietary cryo-lathing method limits microvoid formation and high temperature fluctuations that can cause glistenings8

– It has been shown that a 360° sharp edge, including at the haptic-optic junction, plays the greatest role in limiting LEC migration*
– The TECNIS® 1-Piece IOL with ProTEC™ 360° edge design provides an uninterrupted barrier edge, designed to prevent LEC migration better than previous 1-piece lens designs**

Market Trends
• EDOF = Extended Depth Of Focus
Novel and modern concept of creating a larger range of
functional vision with as little physical focal points as
possible
Refractive Cataract Surgery
Patients are very demanding and knowledgable
Market is polarizing in basic (public) care and special (private) care
• Refractive design with sector shaped near vision part– Sector shaped part focus the light for near vision
– Rest of the lens focus the light for the far vision
Design and Functionality
Far Near
Interval
Far Near
Simplified Model Asymmetrical ray section at the image
planes
Small Blur Radius ±10 mµ
Interval
Far and Near. Each with his own reduced
aperture size function independently
For Far and Near objects a high quality
image is created by the 2 asymmetrical
optical zones
The Near part does not contribute to an
increased blur size and improve distance
vision quality.
At the lower boundary of the interval; the
central far part gives a high quality blur
radius; serving better intermediate vision.
The optical effect of the Near and Far part
is low frequency background illumination of
the retina in 180°
As a result the asymmetrical far and near
optical zone work with a dramatically
increased depth of focus resulting in good
distance, near and intermediate vision.
Additional Benefits for Patient
• Almost freedom from spectacles
• Fast adaption time (less than 4 weeks)
• Good contrast sensitivity
• Minimal halos and glares
• Pupil independent
• sph ±0.0 dpt till +36.0 dpt (0.5 dpt)
• LENTIS Mplustoric to correct astigmatism
• sph ±0.00 dpt till +36.00 dpt (0.01 dpt)
• cyl +0.25 dpt till +12.00 dpt (0.01 dpt)
Laser vs Conventional Cataract Surgery:
real life data
• 2,814 prospective FLACS cases from 2013 to 2015
• 16 centres, 10 European countries

• More lost lines of vision with FLACS (3.3%) than CPS (1.3%)
• Improved astigmatism correction in FLACS (18.5%) over CPS (9%)
FLACS vs CPS
Metaanalysis
• 9 RCT, 15 cohort studies

FLACS vs CPS: which is better?
• Why does the data conflict?
• FLACS appears to be safe
• Overall no significant clinical benefit of
FLACS over CPS in terms of safety,
visual quality, or refractive outcome.
• Significant cost difference currently
Current Opinion in OphthalmologyJanuary 2016 – Vol 27 (1): p76-81
• Recent findings: FLACS has several potential advantages over traditional phacoemulsification. However, although studies have demonstrated noninferiority of FLACS, there continues to be few data to support significantly improved visual outcomes. The literature does show a significantly higher cost for FLACS.

Surgery by Novice Surgeons
• Conclusions: There is no significant difference in complication rates between FLACS and MCS for novice surgeons.
Ethics in Ophthalmology(is there such a thing?)
• What is our role and obligations when discussing surgical options with patients?
• MOH: INFO Bulletin, January 26, 2016
Femto / Toric Example
• 56 year old man presents for right cataract surgery
• Told at a private clinic he would be a good candidate for a Femto / Toric IOL
• Underwent a Right Toric IOL
Post Toric Lens
• Tecnis ZCT 100 implanted
• Post-op: 20/40, Mx: -0.50+1.25 x 160, IOL axis 60 degrees
• Patient very unhappy and told if he wishes to fix this astigmatism then a PRK is needed
• Seeks a second opinion
Second Opinion and Treatment
Second Surgery:IOL exchange with a Monofocal IOLVA: 20/25 Plano, patient happy with resultWhere did things go wrong?
Summary of What We Learned• We are in a constant environment of changing technologies,
some evolve and some are abandoned
• Monofocal lens is still the standard but there is an upswing in Torics
• Multifocal / Extended Range IOL’s are changing on almost a monthly basis but there is a trend to low add IOL’s
• Technologies in Alignment, Intraoperative Refraction and Lens Based Surgery will continue to evolve
• Governments can and do shape the interpretation and delivery of health care and how we interact with our patients
