CataractCoach™1795: IOL exchange is not always the solution

We can assume from the video that the toric IOL is not needed as it is being replaced with a similar IOL without toric correction. If the issue is a myopic refractive surprise, then perhaps LASIK or PRK would be a better solution. If the patient has a spherical equivalent of about plano (emmetropia) and the issue is residual astigmatism, the performing LRIs (Limbal Relaxing Incisions) may be an easier approach and this could even be done at the slit-lamp microscope. However, if the patient has a refractive surprise that is hyperopic, then perhaps the IOL exchange is best. IOL exchange is not an easy procedure and it carries more risk than the initial cataract surgery. In this case, the contracted anterior capsulorhexis is enlarged but that leads to a runout... life is not always easy. Watch the video to see what happens.
