On this episode of the JVRD Author's Forum podcast, Dr. Michael A. Klufas of the Wills Eye Hospital discusses 'Outcomes of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Repair in Pseudophakic Eyes With Multifocal vs Monofocal Intraocular Lenses,' published in the November/December 2024 issue of JVRD. 

Host Dr. Timothy Murray and Dr. Klufas examine how multifocal lenses can complicate surgical views and outcomes, with a notable difference in primary surgical success rates—76% for multifocals versus 87% for monofocals—while stressing the importance of adapting techniques such as adding scleral buckle or encircling laser to optimize outcomes.
