About this Session
Session Moderators:
Daniel H. Chang, MD, ABO; Priya M. Mathews, MD, MPH, ABO
Representing the legislative process, this session explores how pseudophakic (lenticular) refractive surgery can benefit from a structured understanding of how (pseudoaccommodating) Depth of Field IOLs perform clinically. Applying this knowledge in a patient-centered approach with thoughtful preoperative preparation and disciplined postoperative management will provide the best possible outcomes for each patient.
