Extended depth of focus intraocular lenses (IOL) are promising in patients with a history of radial keratotomy who require cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange, according to a presentation at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) 2021 meeting in Las Vegas.
To evaluate refractive outcomes associated with extended depth of focus IOLs, researchers will conduct a prospective evaluation of eyes from a single center both with and without a history of radial keratotomy.
Available preoperative data include uncorrected distance visual acuity, uncorrected near visual acuity, manifest refraction, axial length, k1, k2, and mean k. Postoperative assessments will include manifest refraction, uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity, and uncorrected near visual acuity.
Results of this study are forthcoming.
“Initial clinical impressions of extended depth of focus IOLs are promising in post radial keratotomy patients and this may be considered a good treatment option for cataract and refractive lens exchange,” the researchers explain.
