Learning Objectives

  • Recognise the causes and visual impact of aphakia, including issues like subluxed IOLs.
  • Perform comprehensive exams to evaluate visual acuity, refraction, and IOL positioning.
  • Assist in managing aphakic patients with subluxed IOLs and other surgical complications.
  • Fit suitable corrective options such as contact lenses, spectacles, or IOLs for aphakic or surgically altered eyes.
  • Provide education on managing aphakia and subluxed IOLs, and emphasise the importance of regular follow-up care.
  • Review the different refractive surgery procedures: LASIK, PRK, SMILE, Presbyond discussing their indications, benefits, and risks.
  • Discuss patient selection criteria, including age, assessing corneal thickness, stability of refraction, and overall eye health.
