Refractive Cataract Roundtables: Optimizing Ocular Surface and IOL Selection

Uday Devgan, MD, FACS, FRCS, speaks with Christopher E. Starr, MD, FACS, and Brian Shafer, MD, in two short segments drawn from CRST's October cover focus, "Refractive Cataract Roundtables."

Related perspectives appear in the October issue of CRST.
