Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cataract surgery is a rapidly increasing field in ophthalmology closely linked to the aging global population. Not only has the number of surgical cases increased, but there have also been many technological advancements. The procedure has evolved from extracapsular cataract extraction to phacoemulsification using ultrasound. Technological advancements in ultrasound cataract surgery machines have made it safer and more effective to remove the lens. Additionally, femtosecond laser technology has been introduced to cataract surgery, allowing for the preoperative creation of corneal incisions, anterior capsulotomy, and lens softening, making the surgery even safer. Intraocular lenses (IOLs) have also evolved from monofocal lenses to widely used multifocal and enhanced depth of focus lenses. Due to these technological advancements, cataract surgery is sometimes used as a substitute for presbyopia surgery in some regions, leading to a trend of younger patients undergoing the procedure. In this Special Issue, we are seeking the submission of papers that present the latest advancements in cataract surgery, the optical fundamentals of widely used intraocular lenses (IOLs), and the actual optical comparative evaluations of various premium IOLs available in clinical practice. Additionally, we welcome studies on the complications of IOLs and their treatments, the optimization of IOL calculation formulas for accurate IOL selection, and the most up-to-date trends, current status, and future directions of cataract surgery.
