The Holy Grail of Presbyopia Correction: IOL Technologies Today and Tomorrow to Meet Our Patients’ Needs

Available On Demand Now

CME Activity Expired

This program took place live on Wednesday, January 27, 2021 and is now available in on-demand format for viewing only.

Presbyopia-correcting IOL technologies continue to expand, providing greater options and range of uncorrected vision for more patients. This program explores the growing portfolio of presbyopia-correcting IOLs, dives into the patient selection process for the various lens technologies, and addresses how to evaluate and manage the post-operative surprise patient. It is equally important to optimize the peri-operative process for the patient and the surgeon, and experts will review pearls, medications and digitalization of the cataract surgery journey.
