Are You Experiencing Difficulties With Retinal Surgery on Patient With Restor Intraocular Lens?

Posted By Dr. Randall Wong On September 17, 2009 @ 4:51 am In Case Discussions,Retina | Comments Disabled

I just operated on Friday on a patient with macular pucker. Nothing special pre-operatively. Very easy to see via slit lamp with the aid of a 90D lens. I have been down this path many times. In the OR, I couldn’t focus easily on the ERM. Patient had a Restor® intraocular lens with an open posterior capsule. I don’t know why this was a problem. Was it a problem with me (accomodation?) or a problem with the lens?

I welcome any comments.
