About this episode

Dr. Joaquín Fernández discusses the classification of simultaneous vision IOLs and their importance in cataract surgery.

Our podcast guest, Dr Joaquín Fernández , led the global team that came up with an evidence-based classification of simultaneous vision IOLs which you can read here https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12928794/ . This is so important for us to understand the different optical designs, explain them to our patients, and choose the best options for their vision correction. In this podcast we go over a functional and logical way of classifying all current and all future IOLs and how to differentiate them. If you perform cataract surgery, you truly must listen to this podcast! We feature a new podcast every week on Sundays and they are uploaded to all major podcast services (click links here: Apple , Google , Spotify ) for enjoying as you drive to work or exercise. The full video of the podcast is here on CataractCoach as well as on our YouTube channel. Starting now we have sponsorship opportunities available for the top podcast in all of ophthalmology. Please contact us to inquire.
