Expert faculty explore the contribution of these interventions to the evolution of cataract surgery and their role in improving visual outcomes. In addition, the importance of integrated technology is examined. Learning ObjectivesUpon completion, participants should be able to: Examine current advances in cataract surgery Target AudienceThis activity is intended for ophthalmologists. Statement of NeedAs cataract surgery has continued to evolve over the years, increasing focus has been placed on providing better visual acuity to patients undergoing this procedure. Unfortunately, nearly 30% of cataract surgery outcomes are not meeting the accepted standard target of ±0.5 D. Innovative interventions, such as femtosecond laser, image guidance systems, and intraoperative aberrometry, may help providers better achieve visual acuity targets. As such, ophthalmologists must be made aware of these advances as well as methods for appropriately integrating ...
