Presbyopia-correcting IOLs in Patients with Fuchs Dystrophy: Indications and Contraindications

Early evidence indicates that the spatial precision scale provides a useful way to determine whether a given Fuchs dystrophy patient will be able to succeed in a presbyopia-correcting IOL.
Fuchs dystrophy is a clinically significant corneal condition in patients of cataract age. With the growth of PC-IOLs, deciding whether or not a Fuchs patient is a good candidate for a PC-IOL has become increasingly important. To this end, we created the semi-quantitative “spatial precision scale” as a means to assess Fuchs dystrophy patients’ candidacy for PC-IOL implantation. Early indications are that the spatial precision scale may be useful in determining whether a PC-IOL will provide acceptable quality of vision in Fuchs dystrophy patients. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and to establish a more robust spatial precision scale for clinical application.
