Navigating the large selection of specialty IOLs:
With so many options available in the premium IOL space, doctors may be confused and find it increasingly difficult to counsel patients. Selecting the appropriate IOL requires multiple steps to match the patient goals and optimize expectations. Some doctors even bring patients back for a second appointment for additional testing and have a second discussion before finalizing the plan. Practices that are most successful with new IOL technologies are the ones that have a holistic process.
Solo pracititioners can be at a disadvantage in the narrower experience of IOL types. In these cases, an excellent IOL calculation method and a standardized approach is required with a smaller lens offering. An appropriate patient selection profile brings it all together.
