Abstract:
Corrective 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 31.0 mm OU. The 40 year old patient presented with 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 onlabel parameters of modern IOL technology, it was apparent this would be an unorthodox, and some would consider, controversial endeavor.
