PLANNED AND EXECUTED REFRACTIVE CATARACT SURGERY

orrective refractive surgery, most commonly in the form of LASIK, PRK, ICL or CLE (clear lens exchange),

require deliberate execution for all patients of varying etiology. In 2017 I performed a combination

refractive treatment on a patient with Degenerative Myopia; axiallength of approximately 31.0mmOU. The 40

year old patient presentedwith early onset of bilateral cataracts and a primary complaint of difficulty driving at

night. Historically, the patient had relied on full time contact lens wear for daily functionality. A determination

was made totarget 100% of the patient’s refractive error, approximating -16.0 Diopters of correction OUwith

additional astigmatic correction OU as well. In order to achieve my goal of minimal residual post-operative

prescription, 3surgeries in total per eye would be required: small incision cataract extraction with multifocal

implantation, posterior Yag laser capsulotomy and follow up PRK. Understanding the limitations and on-

label parameters of modern IOL technology, it was apparent this would be an unorthodox, and some would

consider, controversial endeavor.
