Hot Topics in Cornea and Presbyopic IOLs with Dr. Audrey Talley-Rostov
Hot Topics in Cornea and Presbyopic IOLs with Dr. Audrey Talley-Rostov
Dr. Talley-Rostov outlines the hot-topics of the 2008 ASCRS meeting: The beginning of large multi-center study evaluating corneal cross-linking with riboflavin (CCR), corneal topography and the detection of post-LASIK ectasia. Intracorneal ring segments can be helpful in the treatment of ectasia, keratoconus, pellucid ectasia or post-RK ectasia -- hopefully delaying the necessity of corneal transplant in these patients. Pitfalls of presbyopic IOLs: her presentation stressed the importance of being very familiar with the spectrum of multifocal and accommodating lens options. Dr. Talley-Rostov then characterizes her practice in which they recently began femtosecond-assisted keratoplasty with the zig-zag format. DSEK combined with cataract she'll do the DSEK afterwards.
