Dr. Arnaldo Espaillat decided to undergo ZEISS PRESBYOND and shares how his own experience led him to expand his refractive portfolio with this corneal-based approach for patients without cataracts.

Advances in biometric technology and IOL calculation formulas have enabled refractive accuracy of cataract and clear lens exchange (CLE) surgery, but IOL power selection remains challenging in some cases. I have found that the ZEISS IOL Power Calculation Service (IPCS) is a valuable asset to help me in these uncertain situations.

Lenticule Extraction for treating patients with hyperopia is now available with SMILE® pro, performed on the VISUMAX® 800 from ZEISS. This additional option provides a valuable corneal-based alternative for younger patients without cataract. In this Case of the Month, you will discover the advantages of this procedure and review the outcomes of a 30-year-old patient who chose to undergo Lenticule Extraction with ZEISS SMILE pro after experiencing discomfort with contact lenses for many years.
