Special Thanks.
No project such as this happens without the assistance of many others. There
is hardly a day that goes by without some new knowledge coming from those
more experienced in this area. Our deep appreciation goes out to these
experts who so willingly offered their ideas and encouragement.
|
Dan Eisenberg, MD, for his statistical insights and his help in organizing
the format for our surgical outcomes.
|
|
Sandra Frazier-Byrne, for helping us to understand the potential pitfalls
of axial length measurements in the setting of posterior staphyloma and silicone
oil. Her two textbooks: "A-scan Axial Length Measurements – A
Handbook for IOL Calculations," and "Ultrasound of the Eye and Orbit" have
become a favorite of many physicians and their staff to better
understand this topic.
|
| Wolfgang Haigis, PhD, for his assistance in understanding the Zeiss
IOL Master, as well as his many mathematical insights into intraocular lens power
calculations and the Haigis formula. The ophthalmic community owes Dr. Haigis,
who is the Head of the Biometry Department of the University of Würzburg,
Germany, a great debt for his tireless efforts in the field of partial coherence
interferometry and intraocular lens power calculations.
|
| Ken Hoffer, MD, for his thoughtful e-mails containing helpful criticisms, and historical perspectives. One of the founders of the American Society of
Cataract and Refractive Surgery, Ken continues to offer insights and
suggestions to the ophthalmic community via the ASCRS Internet Discussion
Forum.
|
| Jack Holladay, MD, for years of unhesitating assistance with the most
difficult IOL calculation problems we have seen. His Holladay IOL Consultant
has become one of the most valuable tools we have in our practice. The
Holladay 2 formula has allowed us to achieve a superb level of
post-operative refractive accuracy, better than ±0.25 D.
|
| Joel Shugar, MD, for his special insights into the many complexities of
polypseudophakia for high hyperopia. These have been some of our happiest
surgical outcomes. More than once, we have called on Dr. Shugar's expertise
to help us plan for some of our most challenging cases.
