Healio Myopia Without Cataract: Surgical Approaches
Recent advancements in refractive surgery techniques and technologies continue to evolve, offering expanded options for managing patients with refractive errors. Lens-based refractive surgery presents an alternative to traditional laser-based approaches, providing a broader range of correctable refractive errors and enabling personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. In this CE monograph, experts will explore the current role of lens-based refractive surgery for myopia correction, compare it with traditional laser-based refractive procedures, and share valuable clinical insights on selecting the most suitable patients for lens-based versus laser-based refractive surgery in the context of myopia treatment.
