Abstract:
New so called premium intraocular lenses and technological advances in surgical devices have
taken cataract surgery to new level. Today we have more to offer to our cataract patients than ever
in terms of efficacy and safety. Advances in intraocular lenses such as aspheric surfaces, toricity,
multifocality and ability to be implanted through smaller incisions provide a better visual outcome.
The advances in optical biometry and intraocular lens calculations enable us precise IOL power
selection and new optical tracking electronic devices enable us to correctly position the toric lenses
intraoperatively. Femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery and new phaco machines make
cataract surgery more precise and safer. In this presentation I will review these advances in
refractive cataract surgery and reflect my experience.
