1/17/2019 1 Comment Striving for Perfection - Part 1Vince Lombardi is known for many quotes. One of my favorites is, "There's no such thing as perfection. But in striving for perfection, we can achieve excellence." That is always our goal with regard to our patient experience which includes our clinical and surgical outcomes. As technology continues to advance, so does our ability to strive toward perfection. One of our recent advances in the realm of cataract surgery here in our Birmingham office is the IOL Master 700 by Zeiss. Have you ever had that patient undergo cataract surgery with the expectation of emmetropia to only be left with 0.75D of cylinder and is frustrated? What about those early adopters in the corneal refractive surgery market, either RK or LASIK, who still expect to end up plano? Prior to this direct corneal imaging technology, the power and amount of posterior corneal astigmatism were assumed based on mathematical calculations. Now, we are able to obtain a total and true keratometry. This True K analysis combines corneal pachymetry with anterior and posterior corneal surface measurements to assess each eye's individual corneal characteristics.
These measurements can be extremely helpful for all of our patients but are critical for our toric/multifocal IOL and post-refractive surgery patients. This technology is part of our commitment to excellence and exceptional outcomes. We want to go the extra mile to make sure we are getting every measurement possible to maximize refractive outcomes and patient satisfaction following cataract surgery.

Lenses replacement refers to the process of exchanging old or damaged optical lenses, such as eyeglass or camera lenses, with new ones. This service is essential for maintaining clear vision or improving the quality of photographs. Optometrists or opticians often conduct eye exams to determine the prescription for eyeglass lenses. Lens replacement can also involve upgrading camera lenses to enhance image quality or achieve specific photographic effects. The procedure ensures better visual clarity or improved photography results by replacing the lenses with fresher, more suitable options.
