Refractive Glaucoma Surgery: Matching the Right Lens to the Right Patient | Eye Views Podcast

This episode of the Eye Views podcast from Eye News Magazine features a deep dive into the evolving world of ophthalmic surgery and its direct impact on patient quality of life. Host Lorcan Butler sits down with Professor Dan Lindfield, a renowned Consultant Ophthalmologist from Guildford and Professor at City University of London, to discuss the intersection of glaucoma management and premium lens technology. As the boundaries between cataract refractive surgery and glaucoma treatment continue to blur, Professor Lindfield explores how technological shifts are moving clinicians beyond traditional monofocal lenses. The discussion focuses on the rise of Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) and enhanced monofocal lenses, which offer patients significant improvements in intermediate vision and reduced spectacle dependence without the light-splitting drawbacks of older multifocal designs. Eye News is the longest-running print and digital magazine dedicated to ophthalmology in the UK, with an international and domestic readership of healthcare professionals, both within the NHS and private healthcare practices.
