COVER STORIES

IOL Options in 2006
With the recent availability of new aspheric and multifocal IOL designs as well as the ruling by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in 2005 regarding presbyopia-correcting IOLs, lens implant surgeons have an expanded menu of options to offer to their cataract and refractive surgery patients. At the AAO annual meeting last year, Cataract & Refractive Surgery Today assembled a blue-ribbon panel of experts for a roundtable discussion without corporate sponsorship on IOL choices in 2006.
