July consultation #7

The visual fields indicate that this patient has moderate-to-advanced cupping of both optic nerves with more severe cupping in the left eye. Maximum medical therapy over the past 1 to 2 years has resulted in a reduction in the IOP that allowed for disease stabilization. He also has visually significant cataracts in both eyes and wants better CDVA. Therefore, as I did in my initial response,1 I would recommend a monofocal 1-piece acrylic IOL. If significant astigmatism were present in either eye, a toric IOL would have been my recommendation.
