C. Ellis Wisely, MD, MBA, was recently featured in Ophthalmology Times discussing the evolution of cataract surgery and the growing importance of tailoring outcomes to each patient's visual goals.
In the article, “Refractive Cataract Surgery: Aiming for ‘20/Happy’ Patients,” Wisely explains that success is no longer defined solely by achieving 20/20 vision. Instead, he emphasizes helping patients achieve the vision that best fits their lifestyle, whether that's reading without glasses, working on a computer, or driving comfortably.
Wisely highlights the importance of thorough preoperative counseling and educating patients about the full range of intraocular lens (IOL) options, including monofocal, extended depth of focus (EDOF), and multifocal lenses. The feature also explores how advances in lens technology are expanding options for patients and allowing surgeons to provide increasingly personalized care.
