New CME Roundtable Covers IOLs—Preop Through Postop
A new CME roundtable* produced by ASCRS Live!, a popular educational dinner series that made its way to several U.S. cities last year and that will continue this year, is online now. The roundtable—with faculty Mitchell Weikert, MD, Leela Raju, MD, Beeran Meghpara, MD, Jennifer Loh, MD, and Vance Thompson, MD—covers considerations for IOLs within cataract surgery.
The discussion centers around:
- The preop patient assessment, effective IOL counseling, IOL selection, and expectation setting;
- Evaluation of advanced IOL technologies, including monofocal, enhanced monofocals, toric, EDOF, multifocal, small aperture, and customizable;
- Astigmatism management; and
- Approaches for handling patients who are concerned or dissatisfied postop.
