8 APRIL 2025IN MY OPINIONBy Kendrick M Wang, MD, Ophthalmologist, Berkeley Eye CenterTHE CUTTING EDGE OF CATARACT SURGERY: LEVERAGING NEW TECHNOLOGIES odern cataract surgery is no longer just about restoring lost vision--it is about leveraging novel technologies to do more. Patients today expect more than simple clarity; they want freedom from glasses and visual outcomes tailored to their lifestyles, whether for reading, working, or driving. Breakthroughs in intraocular lens (IOL) technology have made these aspirations a reality. This refractive mindset transforms cataract surgery into a life-enhancing procedure, providing customized solutions to meet patients' goals and lifestyles. At the same time, innovative approaches such as microinvasive glaucoma surgery and sustained-release medications enable us to address other ocular conditions, such as glaucoma, during the same procedure. These advancements reduce the burden of disease and improve overall eye health. To deliver the highest level Dr. Kendrick M.
