Cataract surgery options have evolved and expanded dramatically in the past decade and so have the expectations of patients. The sheer amount of lens options are overwhelming for both the doctors and the patients. To get the most out of cataract surgery, a surgical plan must be tailored to each patient specifically, and that patient must be treated as a partner. Understanding the astigmatic impact of surgical wounds, meticulously planning the astigmatic correction, and management of persistent cylinder with arcuate incisions, or laser correction if need be, are all crucial elements of reaching the optimal outcome for each patient.
