Abstract:

In recent years, the age-related cataract and complicated cataract increased in post-corneal-refractive-surgery eyes. The treatments for cataracts in these eyes are rather different from treatments for normal cataract patients. IOLMaster is preferred for accurately measuring the refractive data preoperatively in these eyes. During operation, the wavefront aberrometer can be used for calculating intraocular lens power at the aphakic status, and guiding for selection of the appropriate aspheric and multifocal intraocular lens to improve visual quality. The accommodative intraocular lens enable accommodation postoperatively to obtain the most accurate refraction. These stratigies ensure the satisfaction of the post-corneal-refractive-surgery cataract patients about visual status after cataract surgery.  (Int Rev Ophthalmol,  2016,  40:     121-125)
