Dr. Findl began his lecture talking about postoperative refraction. We have increased demands because of multifocal IOLs, clear lens exchange, toric IOLs, and accommodating IOLs, as well as a growing demand from patients, he said. He highlighted biometry and power calculations, including new longitudinal cut through the entire eye. It’s image-based, can potentially screen for macular disease, and can allow surgeons to technologies and intraoperative measurements. He explained that Vienna is quite proud to be the birthplace of optical biometry. The newest development is the use of swept-source OCT for biometry, he said. This technology shows a
