Activity Outline
Neuroadaptation has emerged as a hot topic for cataract and
refractive surgeons, as some patients are challenged by presbyopia-correcting
intraocular lenses (PC IOLs) and extended depth of focus (EDOF) lenses. While
most patients adapt quickly to these implants, some adapt more slowly, and a
small minority not at all. This article explores this specific challenge that
we face in modern cataract surgery, and how to best manage patient
expectations. It also looks at ways to improve outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the process of neuroadaptation
- Be aware that neuroadaptation post intraocular lens implant can take time
- Be able to explain neuroadaptation and set realistic expectations
- Be aware of options should a patient fail to neuroadapt post-IOL surgery
