2 Presbyopia Correction Many physicians are implanting presbyopia- correcting IOLs, however, often patients have increased expectations for a full range of vision post cataract surgery. Several clinical and practice barriers must be overcome for successful implementation and optimal patient outcomes. 44% of ASCRS members believe that 0.75 D or more of residual cylinder does not have a significant impact on vi- sual quality. However, 42% of ASCRS members re- sponded that they do not use LVC to correct this error. ASCRS members demonstrated that, on average, presbyopia-correcting IOL patients were less satisfied with intermediate vision versus near and distance vision. Although cost to the patient was stated as the biggest barrier to converting more patients to presbyopia- correcting IOLs, 40% of members believe that more than 5% of these patients have significant dysphotopsia.
