3. Introduction • expectations of refractive outcomes after cataract surgery are increasing. • ametropia can still occur with multifocal lens implantation despite advanced surgical techniques and sophisticated methods to predict intraocular lens power. Kuo , ASCRS 2009

4. Introduction • few reports of excimer laser surgery to correct residual refractive error in patients implanted with multifocal lenses • questions about accuracy of wavefront acquisition in multifocal lenses, both diffractive and refractive types Kuo , ASCRS 2009

5. ReSTOR lens: apodized diffractive, refractive IOL Two primary focal points--distance and near (approx 3.2 D add power in spectacle plane). 12 diffractive discontinuities (steps) in the anterior surface of the cast-molded acrylic optic provide the diffractive add power. The steps cover the central 3.6 mm diameter of the IOL. The optic from 3.6 mm to the 6.0 mm edge is comprised of a refractive surface dedicated to distance vision. ≤2 mm pupil, 41% distance, 41% near, 18% to higher diffractive orders (with permission from Davison JA, Simpson MJ.

6. Methods • IRB-approved protocol for refractive patients • thorough preoperative evaluation • detailed medical, ocular, social history • uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity • manifest refraction , cycloplegic refraction • corneal topography, pachymetry • slit-lamp examination, pupillary exam, Schirmer testing, dilated exam Kuo, ASCRS 2009

7. Methods • Orbscan (Bausch and Lomb) • CustomVue Wavescan (Advanced Medical Optics) • three or more measurements are obtained with undilated pupil; 5 mm pupil or larger needed for wavescan capture • measurement where wavefront sphere best matches manifest sphere is chosen for treatment • physician adjustments to sphere are performed where needed to improve match between manifest and wavefront sphere Kuo, ASCRS 2009

8. Methods • VISX STAR S4 (Advanced Medical Optics) was used in all cases • eye tracker and iris registration were engaged in all eyes • off-label use of VISX laser in setting of pseudophakia was discussed with each patient Kuo, ASCRS 2009

9. Case • 78-year-old man with bilateral cataracts • Preoperative Ks 40.27 x 42.99 D in OS at 169 degrees by IOL Master • November 2006: uncomplicated cataract extraction OS, with 19.5 D ReSTOR SN6AD3 (+4 diopter add in IOL plane) and limbal relaxing incisions • YAG laser capsulotomy in June 2007 • August 2007: UCVA was 20/40 and BCVA was 20/30 with manifest refraction of -1.25 + 2.00 x 175—wavefront PRK Kuo, ASCRS 2009

10. Case • corneal pachymetry was 580 microns. Keratometry was 41.25 x 42.75 D at 175 by Orbscan • CustomVue Wavescan showed an RMS of 0.43 µm • patient underwent wavefront-guided PRK in OS with goal of postoperative emmetropia • wavefront data from a 5.25 mm pupil was used. Physician adjustment of -0.75 diopters was incorporated in treatment Kuo, ASCRS 2009

16. Why wavefront-guided treatment? • seems appropriate to correct refractive error after implantation of an aspheric multifocal lens • offers iris registration • compensates for cyclotorsion and pupil centroid shift, thus correcting astigmatism more precisely than conventional treatment Kuo, ASCRS 2009

17. Role of excimer laser after multifocal lens implantation • unavailability of toric multifocal lenses • “refractive surprises” • range of lens powers for the ReSTOR lenses is smaller than range for monofocal lenses • any residual refractive error after multifocal lens implantation will affect vision (and contrast sensitivity) at all distances Kuo, ASCRS 2009

18. Drawbacks of H-S sensor with multifocal IOL • diffractive discontinuities in lens may result in locally distorted wavefronts • spatial distribution of stray centroids (just inside or outside pixel subarray of charge-coupled device) may be hard to predict • scattering incurred by discrete junctions between diffractive zones • may lead to overestimation of the optical quality of eyes with diffractive multifocal IOLS Kuo, ASCRS 2009

19. Drawbacks of H-S sensor with multifocal IOL • concentric zones in ReSTOR vs. square microlens array may lead to inaccurate reconstruction of wavefront Kuo, ASCRS 2009

20. Drawbacks of H-S sensor • Perhaps the findings from our three cases will not be true with larger refractive errors and/or with lens tilt/decentration • tilt/decentration may be more deleterious in aspheric than in spheric lenses • size of capsulorhexis and clarity of posterior capsule may also interfere with good wavefront capture Kuo, ASCRS 2009

21. Why H-S data may still be acceptable • At the wavelength used, the aberrometer may be unaffected by the diffractive effect of the ReSTOR lens • the higher the wavelength used in the wavefront sensor, the lower the diffractive efficiency, and the higher the add power Kuo, ASCRS 2009

22. Why H-S data may still be acceptable • the H-S aberrometers seem more likely to produce wavefront results corresponding to the wavefront produced by the distance power of a diffractive IOL • Hence, the relative lack of “doubling” of spots in H-S images in eyes with the ReSTOR Kuo, ASCRS 2009

23. Conclusions • It is possible to obtain good quality wavefront data in patients with ReSTOR lens and to use such data to design wavefront-guided treatment to maximize uncorrected distance and near visual acuities after ReSTOR • reproducible, well-focused, properly aligned image • wavefront and manifest refractions correlate • Ortiz et al confirmed using another H-S system Kuo, ASCRS 2009

24. Conclusions It is possible to “mix and match” platforms—one company’s IOL and another company’s wavefont-guided laser Kuo, ASCRS 2009

25. Conclusions • in our cases, PRK was chosen over laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) because of low refractive error and possibility that LASIK flap might induce more aberrations • However, perhaps not all patients with multifocal IOLs will qualify for wavefront-guided excimer laser treatment • type of IOL, amount of refractive error , corneal topography, pachymetry

26. Conclusions • The three eyes in our series had good quality wavescans which were used for wavefront-guided PRK, with subsequent improvement of UCVA and in one case, BCVA • delay in achieving best UCVA and BCVA • results of (older) patients undergoing conventional laser surgery to correct post-cataract surgery ametropia vs. patients who have not had CE-IOL
