Dropless Cataract Surgery
-TriMoxiVanco (Steroid + 2 antibiotics)
-Injected into the vitreous through the zonules
-Advantages
No drops for most patients
 Decreases infection rate by >200%
 Lowers CME risk twofold

-Disadvantages




5% require supplemental topical steroids
May get floaters for 1-2 weeks
Diabetes and ERM still require NSAID (Prolensa)
Capsular bag must be perfect to use

Presyopic IOL’s


Distance, intermediate, near vision
Accommodative IOL’s
– Softec HD, (Crystalens)
– Work by the eye muscle shifting the lens and
increasing HOA’s

Multi-focal IOL’s
– Tecnis +2.75/+4.00, (Restor)
– Work by spitting light into distance, near
components
Which Presbyopic IOL?



First question is does the patient want out of
reading glasses?
If no, recommend Softec HD accomodating IOL
with bilateral distance to get distance and
intermediate, but wear readers
If yes, first choice is Softec HDwith some
monovision (minimum -0.75 D)
– Patients favor monovision IOLs over MF IOLs
– Monovision versus multifocal intraocular lens implantation.Georgios Labiris, MD, PhD,

Kozobolis, MD, PhD. J Cat Refract Surg. 41;1, 53-67. 2015
Which Presbyopic IOL?
Patient wants no glasses




Ask about history of monovision tolerance
or interest in mono
If possible, trial with glasses or CTL
If unable or unwilling to do mono – then
recommend Multi-focal if willing to tolerate
night halo
The choice is vision quality (Softec HD)
vs. no reading glasses (Tecnis)
Accomodative IOL’s





B+L Crystalens
Lenstec Softec HD
Mechanism of action: lens movement,
increased depth of field, induction of HOA
Great distance and intermediate
Rarely get reading without some monovision
Primary Mechanism
Optic Movement

Constricted

Crystalens
Properties




Modified silicone platestyle implant with a 5.0
mm optic
Hinges at haptic/optic
junction
0.75 to 1.0 D of clinical
accommodation
I have abandoned this
IOL
Crystalens
Problems



Hinges create unreliable effective lens position
– refractive outcomes are less predictable –
high rate of LASIK/PRK enhancement
Small optic (5.0 mm) can lead to edge glare,
night glare especially with large pupil
Hinge leads to z-syndrome (buckled lens with
induced astigmatism, loss of BCVA)
Softec HD
Properties
*Large 5.75 mm optic
*Double aspheric optic with 0 SA
*Flexible hydrophylic acrylic:
enhanced near vision – no hinges
*Spontaneous near vision: FDA
Study
*3 published studies showing
enhanced near vision
*0.75 to 1.00 D of accommodation
Primary Mechanism
Optic Movement
UBM
Relaxed
Increased
Pressure
Constricted
Summary Of Wavefront Findings

Power Change
– Greater in the center
– Less in the peripheral
– Generally greater than the change in SE

Aberration
– Increase in negative spherical aberration
– Increase in coma
Summary
Accommodating IOLs




Good distance and intermediate
May need readers if unable to tolerate
monovision
Single point of focus/normal contrast –
good for picky patients or those with
previous refractive surgery or retina issues
Softec HD is lens of choice
Multi-Focal IOL’s
-When patients want to eliminate dependence on
reading glasses but will tolerate night glare
-Tecnis +2.75, +3.25, +4.00 - better reading in all
lighting conditions
-Restor +3.00, +4.00: decreased reading in low light,
variable reading outcome, “waxy” vision

 Otherwise: +2.75 in dominant
eye, then show +0.50 trial over to
decide if +3.25 vs.+2.75 in other
eye
Contraindications
Multi-focals
 Any
eye condition associated
with loss of contrast
– dry eye, RK, LASIK
 Retina – Membranes, ARMD, CSR



The emerging standard of care in cataract
surgery is offering patients premium IOL’s

avoid readers, best vision quality
Multifocal (Tecnis +2.75/+3.25/+4.00) –
Monovision intolerant who don’t want to
wear readers, ok with halos
