Sheard R. Optimising biometry for best outcomes in cataract surgery. The Panel, composed of an inter-disciplinary group of experts, reviewed the medical literature and prepared the guideline based on that review. An A-scan ultrasound is not necessary unless an IOL is to be inserted. They identified 5 studies conducted in Europe with a total of 175 subjects. Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep. 2018;10:163-164. All patients achieved a significant increase in corrected distance VA after surgery. When comparing hydrophobic acrylic IOLs with silicone IOLs, the risk ratio (RR) was 1.06 (95 % CI: 0.93 to 1.20). McClellan MB. The Panel also concluded that neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy should not be performed prophylactically or scheduled routinely at particular times after cataract surgery. Patients with a pre-operative reduction of their endothelial cell density are unusually sensitive to the trauma of surgery and may not maintain adequate visual functions following surgery. J Cataract Refract Surg. Comparison of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and conventional cataract surgery: A meta-analysis and systematic review. padding-right: 18px; The authors stated that further randomized controlled studies with standardized methods evaluating adverse effects (e.g., posterior capsular opacification) are needed to clarify the trade-offs. color: red!important; The procedure was completed by phacoemulsification and insertion of an IOL. London, UK: NICE; 2007. Standardized surgery included a 4.0to5.0 mm capsulorhexis and phacoemulsification. Intra-operative aphakic measurements and IOL power calculations were obtained in some patients with the ORA system. Dick HB, Schultz T. Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. Vision Insurance is generally for routine eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses. These investigators had also hoped to collect data on the type of pathogen involved in endophthalmitis; however, this information was not available. 2020;6(6):CD012648. Obstbaum SA. The SN6AT7 appears to be a type of AcrySof IQ toric posterior chamber IOL. Saiki M, Negishi K, Dogru M, et al. .arrowPurpleSmall, a:hover.arrowPurpleSmall { Most health insurance plans cover cataract surgery. Neubauer AS, Priglinger S, Ullrich S, et al. Based on the simulated complication rates of PCS and FLACS and assuming resultant VA outcome improvement of 5 % in uncomplicated cases of LCS, the cost-effectiveness (dollars spent per QALY) gained from LCS was not cost-effective at $92,862 Australian Dollars. Abstracts of Clinical Care Guidelines. These researchers did not use any date or language restrictions in the electronic search for trials. ), and this may prove beneficial in the future research by providing additional data to aid in comparison between groups. In these 9 patients, the mean difference in the amplitude of accommodation between the2 eyes was 0.71 diopters. Cataract removal surgery is considered not medically necessary for the following indications: A 2005 CMS ruling on "Requirements for Determining Coverage of Presbyopia-Correcting Intraocular Lenses that Provide Two Distinct Services for the Patient: A single presbyopia-correcting IOL essentially provides what is otherwise achieved by 2 separate items: Although presbyobia-correcting IOLs may serve the same function as eyeglasses or contact lenses furnished following cataract surgery, IOLs are neither eyeglasses nor contact lenses. 2015;372(16):1530-1538. de Silva SR, Evans JR, Kirthi V, et al. People receiving accommodative lenses had more PCO which may be associated with poorer distance vision. 1993;19(6):673. At 6 months, 4 participants were lost to follow-up; 2 participants from each group. Footnote1*B-scan ultrasound is considered medically necessary in place of A-scan ultrasound where direct visualization of the retina is difficult or impossible including lid problems (e.g., severe edema, partial or total tarsorrhaphy), keratoprosthesis, corneal opacities (e.g., scars, severe edema), hyphema, hypopyon, miosis, dense cataract, pupillary membranes, or vitreous opacities (e.g., hemorrhage, inflammatory debris). It can develop months or years later and is due to a slow growth of epithelial cells remaining from the removed cataract. They last searched the electronic databases on October 3, 2014. Kolb CM, Shajari M, Mathys L, et al. Histologic evaluation of in vivo femtosecond laser-generated capsulotomies reveals a potential cause for radial capsular tears. Cataract removal surgery is an established surgical procedure with excellent outcomes in improving vision and removing visual impediments. None of the included studies reported quality of life outcomes. Surgeons should be cautious when using ORA on RK patients, especially for those patients who have more than 6 cuts. The most common cataract that produces this type of light-related visual loss is a centrally located posterior subcapsular plaque (PSCP). Primary outcome measure was occurrence of acute clinical endophthalmitis within 6 weeks of surgery. At 1 year, trifocal IOL showed no evidence of effect on uncorrected distance VA (MD 0.00, 95 % CI: -0.04 to 0.04; I2 = 0 %; 2 studies, 107 subjects; low-certainty evidence) and uncorrected near VA (MD 0.01, 95 % CI: -0.04 to 0.06; I2 = 0 %; 2 studies, 107 subjects; low-certainty evidence). 2015;25(2):112-8. They included RCTs comparing hydrophobic or hydrophilic acrylic, silicone, or poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) IOLs with or without heparin-surface modification (HSM), with each other, or with no treatment in adults with uveitis, for any indication, undergoing cataract surgery. Cataract in the adult eye PPP 2016. Cataract in the adult eye. J Cataract Refract Surg. CrystaLens, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Devices and Radiologic Health (CDRH). Cataracts in Adults: Management of functional impairment. 2002;28(2):230-234. Report 1: Intracameral cefuroxime and moxifloxacin prophylaxis for the prevention of postcataract endophthalmitis in rural India. J Cataract Refract Surg. These can be either multi-focal lenses, which enable both near and distance vision by virtue of the design of the lens itself, or accommodating lenses, which are intended to move within the eye in a manner similar to a natural human lens. The following are considered medically The Optiwave Refractive Analysis (ORA) System wavefront aberrometer was used to obtain aphakic refractive measurements intra-operatively and then calculate the IOL power with a modified vergence formula obtained before refractive surgery. The authors included RCTs of participants who had open-angle, pseudoexfoliative, or pigmentary glaucoma and age-related cataract. These researchers did not use any date or language restrictions in the electronic searches for trials. Two authors independently assessed eligibility, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias. They did not use any date or language restrictions in the electronic searches for trials. right: 30px; # color: white; They did not use any date or language restrictions in the electronic searches for trials. This was of particular relevance against the background of the significantly higher costs. American Academy of Ophthalmologys EyeWiki (Patel and Sahu, 2019) lists B-scan ultrasound study for posterior segment evaluation to rule out complicated co-existing intra-ocular diseases for pre-operative work-up of patients with Morgagnian cataract. The authors concluded that multi-focal IOLs were effective at improving near vision relative to mono-focal IOLs although there was uncertainty as to the size of the effect. OL OL OL OL OL LI { Abell RG, Vote BJ. Biconvex posterior chamber accommodating intraocular lens implantation after cataract surgery: Long-term outcomes. Efficacy of intracameral antibiotics following manual small incision cataract surgery in reducing the rates of endophthalmitis: A meta-analysis. An intraocular lens (IOL) implant is a small, clear, plastic lens that is used to replace the natural (native) lens of the eye when it has been surgically removed (most often during cataract surgery). 1999;44(2):123-147. Neither prediction errors were statistically different between the ORA and IOLMaster alone. Curr Opin Ophthalmol. Clin Exp Ophthalmol. With this maneuver, the pupillary expansion ring was placed in alignment with the center of the ectopic lens. They carried out a literature search in PubMed and Embase databases to identify studies published from October 1992 to April 2020 evaluating MSICS with a minimum of 500 eyes reported. 2014;111(7):614-623. Surgical treatment of cataract involves replacing the patient's opacified lens with an artifical lens, which is usually of fixed power (monofocal), requiring the use of reading glasses for near vision. CMS Rulings. Comparative evaluation of rotational stability and visual outcome of toric intraocular lenses with and without a capsular tension ring. the member's own assessment of visual disability (e.g., impact on driving, viewing television, and special occupational or avocational needs) and, in particular, disability at near sight (e.g., reading, occupational activities requiring near vision); and. London, UK: NICE; June2008. The member's decision is based on: The loss of vision mimicking the member's complaints should be verified before the member is considered a candidate for cataract surgery. J Cataract Refract Surg. These researchers judged all studies to be at high risk of performance bias. Outcomes and costs of outpatient and inpatient cataract surgery: A randomised clinical trial. Filkorn and associates (2012) compared IOL power calculation and refractive outcome between patients who underwent laser refractive cataract surgery with a femtosecond laser and those with conventional cataract surgery. The refractive outcome was analyzed using the mean absolute error (MAE; difference between predicted and achieved post-operative spherical equivalent refraction), and multi-variable regression analysis was performed to compare the 2 groups. The authors concluded that this new technique for patients with insufficiently dilated pupils associated with ectopia lentis has the potential to improve surgical results and minimize complications in selected cases. Vitrectomy timing for retained lens fragments after surgery for age-related cataracts: A systematic review and meta-analysis. However, inpatient surgery may be considered medically necessary for any of the following members: This assessment of cataract surgery issupported bythe Clinical Practice Guideline No. Conversely, tears of the anterior capsule edge which, apart from interfering with correct IOL positioning, may entail serious complications presently occur more frequently with all FSL instruments. San Francisco, CA: AAO; 1996. Improvements in BCVA obtained from the literature were used to calculate the increase in quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) in a hypothetical cohort between 6 months and 1 year after cataract surgery. Cataract extraction can be accomplished by removing the lens or by emulsification followed by irrigation and aspiration. Outcomes assessed in such trials may include changes (both gains and losses) of VA, QOL, and adverse events (AEs) such as posterior capsular rupture and retinal detachment. These researchers included randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in which routine pre-operative medical testing was compared to no pre-operative or selective pre-operative testing prior to age-related cataract surgery. Bali SJ, Hodge C, Lawless M, et al. However, the clinical benefits must be put into perspective due to the subsequent surgical manipulation of the incisions (during lens emulsification, aspiration and IOL injection), the lacking possibility to visualize the crystalline lens equator as the reference for correct capsulotomy centration and the relativity of US energy consumption on the corneal endothelial trauma. Indian J Ophthalmol. This coverage requirement is in line with federal law that mandates Medicare Advantage plans meet the benefit minimums set forth by Original Medicare. The authors concluded that at this time, it is not possible to draw reliable conclusions from the available data to determine whether cataract surgery is beneficial or harmful in people with ARMD. Indian J Ophthalmol. In the past, the ophthalmologist had no way to correct a patient's irregular astigmatism. The 3 RCTs included in this review reported results for 21,531 total cataract surgeries with 707 total surgery-associated medical adverse events, including 61 hospitalizations and 3 deaths. For each included study, 2 review authors independently documented study characteristics, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality. This retrospective study included 4,970 eyes of 4,013 cataract patients who underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation between January 2000 and January 2008 by the same surgeon at 1 clinic; 4 different IOLs were assessed. In 23 eyes undergoing surgery without the use of OVDs, no complications were observed within a 1-month follow-up period. Rana and colleagues (2021) stated that MSICS is a widely used technique for cataract surgery in the developing world. Use of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy. The science of wavefront aberrometry is based upon the shape of the wavefront of light reflected from the eye. American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) and American Society of Ophthalmic Administrators (ASOA). This was combined with approximate costs in a cost-utility analysis model to determine the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs). They also contacted investigators and experts in the field to identify additional trials. Cataracts may result in progressive loss of vision. A prospective, 6-month, multicenter, bilateral, randomized, evaluator- and subject-masked trial compared 148 cataract patients implanted with the Tecnis Symfony IOL to 151 cataract patients implanted with a monofocal IOL. Patients with TwinSet had the worst visual function. Available at: https://www.aao.org/preferred-practice-pattern/cataract-in-adult-eye-ppp-2016. Health Care Financing Administration. Two authors independently evaluated the search results against the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This Clinical Policy Bulletin addresses cataract surgery. Of the 200 eyes, 74.5 % underwent a complete procedure of laser capsulotomy, lens fragmentation, and corneal incisions; 5 eyes had suction breaks during the laser procedure that led to the remainder of the laser procedure being aborted; 21 (10.5 %) eyes showed the presence of small anterior capsular tags. In a retrospectivestudy, Zhang et al (2017) compared the outcomes of intra-operative wavefront aberrometry (e.g., optiwave refractive analysis (ORA)) versus optical biometry alone for intra-ocular lens (IOL) power calculation in eyes undergoing cataract surgery with mono-focal IOL implantation. Two authors independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias for included studies. margin-bottom: 38px; 2014;111(7):624-637. In such cases, diagnostic B-scan ultrasound can accurately image intra-ocular structures and give valuable information on the status of the lens, vitreous, retina, choroid, and sclera. Nielsen NE, Naeser K. Epidemiology of retinal detachment following extracapsular cataract extraction: A follow-up study with an analysis of risk factors. The indications were hyper-mature senile cataract in 9 cases, hyper-mature senile cataract with lens induced glaucoma in 9 cases, pseudo-exfoliation syndrome in 9 cases, post-blunt injury traumatic cataract in 6 cases, iridochoroidal coloboma in 6 cases, hyper-mature cataract with pseudo-exfoliation and Marfan syndrome in 3 cases, respectively. Refractive Correction of Near and Intermediate Vision with Less Dependency on Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses" concluded that 1 pair of conventional eyeglasses or contact lenses furnished subsequent to each cataract surgery with insertion of an IOL is covered. In a prospective, randomized controlled study, Marshall and associates (2005) verified the safety and effectiveness of the new AcrySof Natural blue-light filtering IOL, which was designed to achieve a light-transmission spectrum similar to that of the natural human crystalline lens. Malyugin B, Anisimova N, Antonova O, Arbisser LB. Optom Clin. Between 2010 and 2013, a total of 4,316 phacoemulsification surgeries were performed and of these surgeries CTR implantation was done in 41 eyes of 36 patients. All subjects had bilateral cataracts with no pre-existing ocular pathologies or ocular surgery. Decision of CTR implant was intra-operative in 42 patients. OL OL OL LI { This study examined the accuracy of ORA in standard mono-focal non-toric IOLs only. The percentage of dysphotopsia phenomena was 81 % in patients with diffractive multifocal ZM900 compared with 48 % in patients with monofocal IOLs, 53 % with refractive ReZoom, and 47 % with diffractive TwinSet. 2005;31(12):2319-2323. The mean age of patients included was 69.2 9.8 years. Schultz T, Joachim SC, Tischoff I, Dick HB. A pre-loaded IOL was implanted under irrigation. It was hypothesized that increased IOP from phacoemulsification could make the RK cuts swell, and change cornea shape intra-operatively. A critical appraisal. }. Findl O, Drexler W, Menapace R, et al. Another drawback was only 121 patients out of 289 patients had recorded anterior chamber lengths in chart review. Doane JF. Participants were randomized to immediate cataract surgery (within 2 weeks of enrollment) (n = 29) or delayed cataract surgery (6 months after enrollment) (n = 31). Second, several studies in this meta-analysis did not report sufficient data on risk assessment, especially random sequence generation, allocation concealment and setting blinding, which may have led to bias. These researchers carried out a comprehensive literature review of PubMed, Science Direct and Embase. Medicare Part B will pay for a yearly eye exam for diabetic retinopathy. Zamora-de La Cruz and colleagues (2020) noted that presbyopia occurs when the lens of the eyes loses its elasticity leading to loss of accommodation. The lens may also progress to develop cataract, affecting VA and CS. Duman et al (2015) evaluated the impact of 4 different IOLs on PCO by comparing the Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy rates. 2010;36(4):603-608. None of the studies reported the mean change in visual acuity or visual fields. Regarding insurance coverage, the brief answer is that yes, cataract surgery is covered by Medicare and commercial insurance. In a systematic review and meta-analysis, these researchers examined the effectiveness of prophylactic IC antibiotics in reducing the rates of post-operative endophthalmitis following MSICS. Furthermore, the AAO Preferred Practice Pattern on cataract surgery (2016) stated that Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) increases the circularity and centration of the capsulorrhexis and reduces the amount of ultrasonic energy required to remove a cataract. Philadelphia, PA: W.B. cursor: pointer; The reduction in the incidence of endophthalmitis following ICC was 0.017 % and that after ICM was 0.049 %. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). However ethical considerations need to be addressed when delaying a potentially beneficial treatment and it may not be feasible to conduct a long-term study where surgery is withheld from the control group. WebCataract Surgery and Medicare Coverage Uncovered The short answer: Yes. These pre-operative tests include contrast sensitivity testing, glare testing, potential vision testing, and specular photographic microscopy (endothelial cell photography). The authors reported that, based on 10 studies that compared DCNVA, accommodating IOLs were favored but failed the test of heterogeneity (I(2) = 94 %). display: block; Overall, there was a 96.2 % reduction in EPT between controls and the optimized femtosecond pre-treatment group. The followingare considered medically necessary: Capsular tension rings (e.g., StabilEyes) for stabilization of the lens capsule during IOL placement in conditions associated with weak or partially absent zonules (including primary zonular weakness (e.g., Marfan syndrome), and secondary zonular weakness (e.g., trauma or vitrectomy)); Other medically necessary indications may be cases of zonulysis, pseudo-exfoliation and Marchesanis syndrome. } The health insurance provider said it believes up to 20% of all cataract surgeries may be unnecessary, but ophthalmology groups disagree. Sheard (2014) stated that biometry has become one of the most important steps in modern cataract surgery and, according to the Royal College of Ophthalmologists Cataract Surgery Guidelines, what matters most is achieving excellent results. All studies included people who had bilateral cataracts with no pre-existing ocular pathologies. Complications were reported at 12 months (2 studies), 12 to 18 months (1 study), and 2 years (4 studies) after surgery. The device may cause reduced contrast sensitivity that becomes worse under poor visibility conditions such as dim light or fog. These images are used to calculate the patients total refractive error, from all aberrations due to the eyes optical imperfections, at any point during the surgical procedure: phakic, aphakic or pseudophakic. RF Steinert, ed. Routine pre-operative medical testing did not reduce the risk of intra-operative (OR 1.02, 95 % CI: 0.85 to 1.22) or post-operative medical adverse events (OR 0.96, 95 % CI: 0.74 to 1.24) when compared to selective-testing or no-testing. --> The femtosecond laser capsule disks displayed a more saw blade-like structure created through the single laser spots. Patients implanted with the Tecnis diffractive ZM900 were those reporting more photic phenomena. } This was significantly more accurate than the other pre-operative methods: Median absolute error was 0.6, 0.53, and 0.51 D for surgeon best choice, Haigis L method, and Shammas method, respectively. Functional assessment of accommodating intraocular lenses versus monofocal intraocular lenses in cataract surgery: Metaanalysis. Surgical outcomes and safety of femtosecond laser cataract surgery: A prospective study of 1500 consecutive cases. 2001;54(1):23-29. Accommodative IOLs have been designed to overcome loss of accommodation after cataract surgery. They assessed the certainty of the evidence using GRADE. Data from 1 study at 3 months suggested that CS did not differ between groups under photopic conditions, but may be worse in the trifocal group in 1 of the 4 frequencies under mesopic conditions (MD -0.19, 95 % CI: -0.33 to -0.05; 1 study; I2 = 0 %, 25 subjects; low-certainty evidence).
