Medical Forum / General / Vision / April 2007Balancing two eyes
What other factors are used besides corneal curvature, axial length, and present correction needed for distance to achieve a good balance with IOL's when no cataracts are involved but you would like to have a more "normal" balance in correction after surgery? Say a person had a prescription of: OD -13.3 OS +0.50 -2.25 x170 Had K's of: OD 44.37 x0 44.37 x0 7.61mm 7.61mm axial length: 25.48 OS 43.25 x175 45.50 x85 7.80mm 7.42mm axial length: 23.57 Also, what changes might be made to the calculation if a +1 grade cataract were found before the natural lens was removed? cdavis@directflatscreen.tv schreef: > What other factors are used besides corneal curvature, axial length, > and present correction needed for distance to achieve a good balance [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Also, what changes might be made to the calculation if a +1 grade > cataract were found before the natural lens was removed? Dear sir, consider contactlenses instead of implants. If, many years from now I hope, you have to consider a removal off your lens crystallina due for example to cataract it is more useful to take the risk of a surgery in the eye. You already received an answer on your question by Dr Judy what changes has to be made or not when somebody already has cataract. Asking is one thing, reading the answers on your questions provided by the kind people here should be polite behavior from your side.

The reply that I had from Dr. Judy came at the same time that I was sending this post. I did not read that answer until too late. She gave me a good link to much information. I am new here and want to be polite but many of the "questions" and "answers" seem to come from someone's waking dreams. > many of the >"questions" and "answers" seem to come from someone's waking dreams. Haha.. ain't that the truth! Ann |
