In this episode, Dr. Jeff Banas and Dr. Nick Bruns dive into modern cataract care—how to evaluate patients, set expectations, and select the right IOL amid declining reimbursements and rising demands for spectacle independence.

You’ll learn where multifocal, EDOF, toric, and especially Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL) fit, plus how to counsel patients on real-world outcomes, glare/halo trade-offs, and co-management timelines.

From using topography and biometry to confirm corneal regularity and higher-order aberrations, to leveraging post-op adjustability with LAL for fine-tuned refractive targets, the discussion equips ODs to collaborate tightly with surgeons and steer patients toward the option that best matches lifestyle and ocular surface status.

The conversation also covers post-operative milestones, when to escalate, and pathways for residual refractive error management.

You’ll walk away with practical strategies to elevate patient satisfaction, reduce chair time from misaligned expectations, and confidently guide premium IOL decisions—especially in cases complicated by irregular optics.
