AAO 2015
Cataract/Anterior Segment, Cornea/External Disease
Dr. Koch details the special challenges the keratoconic cornea poses for IOL calculations. Using several cases, he demonstrates the complex guessing game of IOL power selection in keratoconus patients and offers his own management guidelines. He also reviews a variety of considerations including the stability of the cornea, the patient's current and future visual needs, determining the appropriate type of IOL, and managing excessive residual refractive error.
