Outcomes and Complications After IOL Exchange

An analysis of the IRIS Registry shows IOL exchanges are increasing over time, with vision improving 60% of the time, but worse visual outcomes are associated with greater age, worse baseline vision, Black race, Hispanic ethnicity, Medicaid insurance, smoking, and concurrent vitrectomy.
 
Dr. Matt Feng sits with authors Drs. David F. Chang and Fasika A. Woreta to discuss these findings and more from their Ophthalmology article, “Visual Acuity Outcomes and Complications after Intraocular Lens Exchange: An IRIS Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight) Analysis.”

Visual Acuity Outcomes and Complications after Intraocular Lens Exchange. Son, Hyeck-Soo et al. Ophthalmology, Volume 131, Issue 4, 403 – 411.
