Title | From paediatrics to reversible presbyopia surgery to silicone oiled eyes: the wonderful world of supplemental IOL use |
Purpose | To educate the audience about the scope of supplemental IOL use. |
Methods | Classification os surgery into primary vs. secondary, permanent vs. temporary allows the practitioner to understand the situations where supplemental IOLs can be used to help patients. |
Results | Modern supplemental IOLs are not just "piggy back IOLs" but a radical new platform. This safer technology opens a variety of uses that have not previously been recognised. |
Conclusion | An understanding of the IOL platform of modern supplemental IOLs together with a conceptual classification of surgery allows ophthalmologists to appreciate the wide range of situations where supplemental IOLs may help patients. |
