Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 46
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cataract is the opacity of clear natural lens. Once formed, this has been removed and replaced with monofocal intraocular lens for more than three to four decades. This article focuses on extensive overview of screening of patients for multifocal intraocular lens, indications, relative contradictions and absolute contradictions for multifocal intraocular lens implantation. The methodology of detailed history taking, systematic clinical work-up using appropriate evaluation tools, has been discussed. The outcome of this screening method would considerably increase the number of happy patients with spectacle independence. This article would serve as the best guiding tool for practicing ophthalmic physicians or surgeons to practice multifocal intraocular lens in cataract patients in presbyopic age group. As AcrySof diffractive multifocal intraocular lens design is known to decrease the photic phenomenon and satisfy the requirement of the patient for spectacle independence, its features have also been analysed for the benefit of ophthalmic practitioners.
