CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old man presents for a refractive surgery consultation. He takes icosapent ethyl for high triglycerides and lisinopril for hypertension and previously had a nasal tumor removed from the right sinus.

He reports no dry eye history and has worn contact lenses successfully, using slight under-correction in the right eye for near tasks. Continue reading the full case here: https://ow.ly/INnz50XAoQM

CASE PRESENTATION: A 39-year-old woman presents for a cataract evaluation. In 2009, the patient underwent retinal detachment (RD) repair with a scleral buckle and gas tamponade as well as a vitrectomy in the right eye and laser retinopexy for retinal tears in both eyes.

Since undergoing the retinal repairs, she has had intermittent blurry near vision and depth perception issues in the right eye, but these symptoms have worsened progressively during the past several months.

The patient reports experiencing a macula-on RD and states that she never lost central vision. She says her visual acuity after the RD repair was 20/20 OD before the recent diagnosis of a cataract.
