Most Australians will undergo cataract surgery in their lifetime, and a significant number of these patients will also have ocular comorbidities such as macular disease and/or glaucoma. Historically, these patients would only be offered a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) due to the risk of poor patient satisfaction resulting from reduced optical quality and dysphotopsia.
However, as lens technology has advanced, extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs are increasingly employed to minimise spectacle dependence following cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange. With improved contrast sensitivity and a reduced dysphotopsia side effect profile, it is possible that this generation of IOLs will become the standard of care in patients with ocular comorbidities, including macular disease…Read and take test.
