Accomodating intraocular lens

Although LASIK surgeons routinely fail to provide patients with a K-card, LASIK surgeon professional organizations stress its importance.On its website, the International Society of Refractive Surgery (ISRS) tells patients, "It's crucial to keep a record of pre- and post-operation information that may be needed for future eye surgery, such as cataract surgery.The K Card is an essential part of the refractive surgery patient's health files The 'K-card' which captures a patient's preoperative keratometry readings and refraction should be given to LASIK patients.It is often difficult to track down this critical data years later, when the patient is need of cataract surgery or additional eye care.Preoperative and postoperative measurements and trends over time were analyzed.RESULTS: Of 807,220 cataract extractions, 1229 (0.15%) were corneal refractive cases.

If you developed early cataracts after LASIK, or if you experienced a bad outcome from cataract surgery due to prior LASIK surgery, you should file a Med Watch report with the FDA online.Although the lens was morphologically normal on slit lamp examination, increased HOAs and lenticular density were detected. Abstract PURPOSE: To compare the age at the time of cataract surgery in patients who have undergone microkeratome-assisted LASIK versus individuals matched for axial length, cataract grade, and visual acuity with no history of refractive surgery.Since there were no cataractous changes, the patient was advised regular follow-up. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of patients who underwent cataract extraction between September 2013 and March 2015 at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.Alternatively, you may call FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 to report by telephone, download the paper form and either fax it to 1-800-FDA-0178 or mail it to the address shown at the bottom of page 3, or download the Med Watcher Mobile App for reporting LASIK problems to the FDA using a smart phone or tablet.Read a sample of LASIK injury reports currently on file with the FDA.
