He is an expert in monofocal, multifocal and toric lens implantation after cataract surgery. Focus on cataracts Emphasis is placed on the provision of individualised care by offering multi-focal and toric lens implants, where the lens used has different optical power and focal length in two orien...
from far to near vision, in patients with cataracts. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials concluded that patients receiving multifocal IOL implants are more likely to be
Purpose To analyze and compare the visual performance and patient satisfaction following the implantation of toric multifocal intraocular lenses (TMIOLs) in adult patients with different types of developmental cataracts (DC) accompanied by corneal astigmatism (CA).Methods This is a prospective ...
Before the use of intraocular lenses, if you hadcataractsremoved, you had to wear very thickglassesor specialcontact lensesin order to see clearly after cataract surgery, since no device was implanted in the eye to replace the focusing power of the natural lens. Today there is a wide variety...

Though toric intraocular lenses (tIOL) are relatively new in the armamentarium of the cataract refractive surgeon, the efficacy of tIOLs benefiting patients with cataracts, refractive errors, and corneal astigmatism has been well established1,2,3. Considering 20% to 30% of patients who have catara...
“These new lenses bring opportunity for achieving happier patients and really allow cataract surgeons to provide freedom from glasses for a vast majority of the people who elect multifocal IOL surgery,” he said. Dr. Packer noted that the new lower add power multifocal IOLs are not perfect as...
Cataracts are the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide, impacting more than 100 million eyes, with more than 90% of people developing cataracts by the age of 65. Over the last two decades, cataract patients' visual needs have dramatically changed as digital devices have become an int...
