Dr. Kerry Solomon shares his observations of this year’s ASCRS meeting in Chicago: In the cataract setting, the proliferation of new IOL technologies and enhanced phacoemulsification systems has greatly improved patient outcomes. LASIK patients can expect better results than ever because of wavefront-guided ablations and femtosecond laser flap creation. Dr. Solomon also comments on refractive lens exchange and how the procedure complements current refractive practice. He discusses a recent meta-analysis of LASIK patient satisfaction data from 1993 to 2005 that supports the claim that greater than 95% of LASIK patients worldwide are happy with the procedure – higher than any other elective surgery. Dr. Solomon will be actively involved in a collaborative study between ASCRS, NEI, AAO and the FDA to evaluate patient quality of life post-LASIK.
