SURGERY SENSE

Incorporating Preloaded IOLs into surgery

By David R. Hardten, MD

A preloaded IOL can boost efficiency in a high-volume cataract surgery setting: It can save about 2 minutes of preparation time, provide a more efficient handoff between technician and surgeon, and decrease the amount of OVD needed during the procedure.

Toric IOL or LRI?

By V. Nicolas Batra, MD

Regardless of the method, successful planning of astigmatic correction in patients with 1.00 D or less of astigmatism entails verifying the axis of astigmatism, checking the refraction in comparison with the topographic astigmatism, and accounting for posterior corneal cylinder. Adjustment for cyclotorsion must also be considered.

PRACTICE MATTERS

Commit to your patients’ experiences

By Joel Gaslin

Use the PEARL method as a way to establish a baseline commitment to service in your practice and to position it for the future: perform an assessment, establish whom you want to serve and how you will define success, adapt to what you have learned and the goals you have established, refine, and then lead and execute.
