The intra-ocular lens (IOL) is a permanent plastic lens implanted inside the eye to replace the crystalline lens. Eyes with corneal pathology, lens subluxation, and a specular endothelial cell count less than 2,000/mm2 were excluded from the study. Two authors independently evaluated the search results against the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Curr Opin Ophthalmol. Kolb CM, Shajari M, Mathys L, et al. # color: white; } Routine preoperative medical testing for cataract surgery. } Data were available for all patients at 6 months and 20 patients at 1 year. Histologic evaluation of in vivo femtosecond laser-generated capsulotomies reveals a potential cause for radial capsular tears. J Cataract Refract Surg. The Panel also concluded that neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy should not be performed prophylactically or scheduled routinely at particular times after cataract surgery. background-color: #cc0066; The age range of participants was 21 to 87 years. In these 9 patients, the mean difference in the amplitude of accommodation between the2 eyes was 0.71 diopters. In a Cochrane review, these investigators defined. A-mode ultrasonography (A-scan) can be used to determine the appropriate pseudophakic power of the IOL. This Clinical Policy Bulletin contains only a partial, general description of plan or program benefits and does not constitute a contract. Both unilateral and bilateral implantation trials were included. National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). However, inpatient surgery may be considered medically necessary for any of the following members: This assessment of cataract surgery issupported bythe Clinical Practice Guideline No. WebThe response from physicians to Aetnas prior authorization requirement for cataract surgery was overwhelming, and it strengthened efforts to influence the insurer to change Requests for Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy performed within 6 months of cataract extraction should be forwarded for medical review; Combined glaucoma and cataract surgery for persons with a visually significant cataract with uncontrolled glaucoma despite maximal medical therapy and/or laser trabeculoplasty; Standard posterior chamber IOL for hyperopia (e.g., Clariflex, Sensar AR40e, Advanced Medical Optics, Santa Ana, CA); Standard anterior chamber IOLs (e.g., ALcon MTA2UO, MTA3UO, MTA4UO, MTA5UO, MTA6UO, and MTA7UO); Standard fixed monofocal posterior chamber IOLs (e.g., Akreos posterior fixed monofocal IOL (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY), Akreos AO Micro Incision Lens (Model MI60L), AcrySof SA60AT monofocal IOL (Alcon Surgical, Fort Worth, TX), AcrySof MA60AC, AcrySof MA60MA, AcrySof SN60AT, Alcon MZ30BD, CeeOn Edge (Pharmacia Corp., Peepack, NJ), Tecnis monofocal IOL (Model PCB00), and the Hydroview hydrogel foldable posterior IOL (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY)); Aspheric monofocal posterior chamber IOLs (e.g., AcrySof IQ IOL (Alcon Surgical, Fort Worth, TX), Alcon CZ70BD, Alcon SA60WF, SN6CWS, Tecnis (Z9000, Z9001, Z9002, ZA9003, Abbott Medical Optics, Santa Ana, CA), SofPort AO IOL (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY), Sofport LI61AO, Staar Model CC4204A, Akreos AO Aspheric IOL (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY), Akreos SA 060, Hoya PY-60AD (Hoya Surgical Optics GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany), Abbott ZCB00, Tecnis AMO Aspheric IOL ZCB00 (Abbott Medical Optics, Santa Ana, CA), and Acrysof IQ SN60WS (Alcon Surgical, Fort Worth, TX)); Standard fixed monofocal posterior chamber ultraviolet absorbing IOLs for aphakia (e.g., AcrySof Natural blue-light filtering IOL including the AcrySof MN60MA (Alcon Surgical, Fort Worth, TX), AcrySof SN60WF, SofPort AO IOL with Violet Shield Technology (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY), C-flex IOL model 570C (Rayner Surgical Inc., Los Angeles, CA), EC-3 PAL (Aaren Scientific, Ontario, CA), iSpheric Model YA-60BB IOL (Hoya Surgical Optics, Chino Hills, CA), Softec HD (Lenstec Inc., St. Petersburg, FL); and XACT Foldable Hydrophobic Acrylic Ultraviolet Light-Absorbing Posterior Chamber IOLs (Bausch & Lomb); Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery is considered an equally effective alternative to standard methods of cataract removal. Standard IOLs meet an individuals basic functional needs by replacing the native lens. } The MAE was 0.28 D for the Masket regression formula, 0.31 D for the Haigis-L formula, 0.37 D for ORA, and 0.44 D for Optovue. A modified CTR was then inserted and sutured to the ciliary sulcus to center the capsular bag and the IOL was implanted. Glaucoma surgery type varied among the studies: 3studies used trabeculectomy, 3 studies used iStent implants, 1 study used trabeculotomy, and 2 studies used trabecular aspiration. Participants were patients undergoing cataract surgery with a history of LASIK or photorefractive keratectomy. Comparison of postoperative visual performance between bifocal and trifocal intraocular Lens based on randomized controlled trails: A meta-analysis. These researchers did not use any date or language restrictions in the electronic searches for trials. } Improvements in BCVA obtained from the literature were used to calculate the increase in quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) in a hypothetical cohort between 6 months and 1 year after cataract surgery. 2012;28(8):540-544. These researchers used standard methodological procedures expected by Cochrane. These researchers stated that further reductions may be achieved using optimization of lens fragmentation patterns and surgical technique. FDA approves first intraocular lens with extended range of vision for cataract patients. The images are then computed to give the local slope and character of the wavefront of light. Data from 1 study at 3 months suggested that CS did not differ between groups under photopic conditions, but may be worse in the trifocal group in 1 of the 4 frequencies under mesopic conditions (MD -0.19, 95 % CI: -0.33 to -0.05; 1 study; I2 = 0 %, 25 subjects; low-certainty evidence). At 6-month follow up, 39 patients had BCVA of greater than or equal to 6/12; IOL decentration was detected in only 3 cases, but without any subjective visual complaints. Verhulst E, Vrijghem JC. Participants were hypothetical cohort of patients undergoing cataract surgery in the better eye based on a review of the current literature and the authors direct experience using FLACS. color: white; They searched CENTRAL (which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group Trials Register) (The Cochrane Library 2013, Issue 7), Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid MEDLINE In-Process and Other Non-Indexed Citations, Ovid MEDLINE Daily, Ovid OLDMEDLINE (January 1946 to August 2013), EMBASE (January 1980 to August 2013), Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS) (January 1982 to August 2013), the metaRegister of Controlled Trials (mRCT), ClinicalTrials.gov and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP). Cochrane Database Syst Rev. There were similar rates in the development of PCO between hydrophobic or hydrophilic acrylic IOLs at 6 months' follow-up (RR 1.00, 95 % CI: 0.80 to 1.25). The Alcon CZ70BD is a single-piece polycast polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) intra-ocular lens (IOL; posterior chamber). A computer analysis determines the relative displacement of each spot image. right: 30px; Waldron (2012) stated that B-scan ultrasound is most useful when direct visualization of intra-ocular structures is difficult or impossible. Cases underwent anterior capsulotomy, lens fragmentation, and corneal incisions with the Alcon/LenSx FS laser (Alcon/LenSx, Aliso Viejo, CA). J Cataract Refract Surg. These pre-operative tests include contrast sensitivity testing, glare testing, potential vision testing, and specular photographic microscopy (endothelial cell photography). These investigators searched CENTRAL (which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group Trials Register) (The Cochrane Library 2011, Issue 12), MEDLINE (January 1950 to December 2011), EMBASE (January 1980 to December 2011), Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS) (January 1982 to December 2011), the metaRegister of Controlled Trials (mRCT), ClinicalTrials.gov and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP). Patients with Tecnis and TwinSet diffractive multi-focal IOLs were more spectacle-independent than patients with ReZoom. In a prospective, non-randomized, study, these researchers compared the effectiveness of IC cefuroxime and moxifloxacin prophylaxis in reducing the incidence of acute endophthalmitis following cataract surgery in rural India. J Cataract Refract Surg. The member has been educated about the risks and benefits of cataract surgery, including alternatives to treatment and the member determines if the expected reduction in the disability outweighs the potential risk, cost and inconvenience of surgery. The average reading speed was 11.6 words per minute more in the accommodative lens group but the 95 % CI ranged from 12.2 words less to 35.4 words more (1 study, 40 people, low quality evidence). Abstracts of Clinical Care Guidelines. No study reported on CS or QOL at 1-year follow-up. the member's own assessment of visual disability (e.g., impact on driving, viewing television, and special occupational or avocational needs) and, in particular, disability at near sight (e.g., reading, occupational activities requiring near vision); and. Most health insurance plans cover cataract surgery. They stated that additional high-quality RCTs measuring clinically meaningful and patient-important outcomes are needed to provide evidence to support treatment recommendations. The member's medical and mental health should permit surgery to be performed safely. In the 4rth study (60 participants), the study eye of each participant was randomized to receive a hydrophobic or hydrophilic acrylic IOL. Main outcome measure was intra-operative complication rates. CTR was implanted in cases where zonular dialysis of greater than 3 clock hours was present or capsular bag instability was detected during capsulorhexis or subsequent intra-operative maneuvers. Typically, cataract surgery is covered by insurance and Medicare. text-decoration: underline; Their coverage for dogs is around $59 a month, and coverage for cats will run you around $30 a month. Given that the intent of the multi-focal IOL, accommodating IOL and the toric IOL is to obviate the need for reading glasses post-surgery, these IOLs are considered not medically necessary. On July 1st, Aetna implemented a new policy requiring prior authorization for cataract surgery. 2011;152(3):345-357. At 1 year' follow-up, fewer eyes randomized to hydrophobic acrylic IOLs developed posterior synechiae when compared with eyes receiving silicone IOLs (RR 0.18, 95 % CI: 0.04 to 0.79); the effects between these groups were less certain with respect to developing posterior capsule opacification (PCO) (RR 0.74, 95 % CI: 0.41 to 1.37), corneal edema (RR 0.49, 95 % CI: 0.22 to 1.12), cystoid macular edema (RR 0.10, 95 % CI: 0.01 to 1.84), or mild IOL de-centration (RR 0.92, 95 % CI: 0.06 to 14.22). Incidence of retinal detachment after cataract surgery and neodynium:YAG laser capsulotomy. Available at: http://www.crystalens.com/. The short answer: Yes. Indian J Ophthalmol. Medicare proposal to restrict medical necessity for cataract surgery. .fixedHeaderWrap { They identified 5 studies conducted in Europe with a total of 175 subjects. Two authors independently screened search results, assessed risk of bias and extracted data. They concluded that there is inadequate evidence to support the use of these tests in most cases to determine the need for cataract removal surgery; they recognized, however, that these preoperative tests are needed in special circumstances. Alternatives to routine pre-operative medical testing have been proposed, including self-administered health questionnaires, which could substitute for health provider histories and physical examinations. Post-operatively, contrast sensitivity and color perception were measured up to 180 days and up to 1 year (for visual acuity) after implantation. Refractive outcomes of intraoperative wavefront aberrometry versus optical biometry alone for intraocular lens power calculation. 2014;121(1):56-60. The Optiwave Refractive Analysis System, or ORA System, is an intra-operative wavefront aberrometer for use in the operating room (OR) during refractive cataract surgery. J Refract Surg. Li A, He Q, Wei L, et al. Comparative evaluation of rotational stability and visual outcome of toric intraocular lenses with and without a capsular tension ring. Spectacles only correct lower order aberrations such as sphere and cylinder. J Clin Epidemiol. Stevens G Jr, Long B, Hamann JM, Allen RC. margin-top: 38px; The difference of uncorrected near VA (UNVA) between the bifocal IOLs and trifocal IOLs had no significance (MD = 0.02, 95 % CI: - 0.03 to 0.06). Schultz and co-workers (2015) compared histologically the size and appearance of capsule disks after FLACS and conventional cataract surgery. In a retrospective, consecutive, cases-series study, Ianchulev and colleagues (2014) evaluated a new method of intra-operative refractive biometry (IRB) for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in eyes undergoing cataract surgery after prior myopic LASIK or photorefractive keratectomy. At 1 year, trifocal IOL showed no evidence of effect on uncorrected distance VA (MD 0.00, 95 % CI: -0.04 to 0.04; I2 = 0 %; 2 studies, 107 subjects; low-certainty evidence) and uncorrected near VA (MD 0.01, 95 % CI: -0.04 to 0.06; I2 = 0 %; 2 studies, 107 subjects; low-certainty evidence). Ophthalmology. Routine pre-operative medical testing did not reduce the risk of intra-operative (OR 1.02, 95 % CI: 0.85 to 1.22) or post-operative medical adverse events (OR 0.96, 95 % CI: 0.74 to 1.24) when compared to selective-testing or no-testing. There were no date or language restrictions in the electronic searches for trials. J Refract Surg. As an Aetna Vision Preferred member, youre covered for routine eye exams and either one pair of eyeglasses (lenses and frame) or contact lenses or prescription sunglasses. Therefore, it is important that you check the details of the insurance policy before Vanner EA, Stewart MW. Posterior chamber IOL (PCIOL) was implanted into the capsular bag in all eyes. Standard mono-focal IOLs correct only distance vision; patients require spectacles for near vision. Standard IOLs meet the basic functional needs of the members physical condition. Rockville, MD: Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR); February 1993. Celik et al (2015) reviewed the indications, clinical outcomes and complications of CTR implantation in a series of consecutive phacoemulsification surgeries during a 3-year period. Martnez Palmer A, Gmez Faia P, Espaa Albelda A, et al. If you are considering having cataract surgery, you may wonder if you have insurance to cover the procedure. American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) and American Society of Ophthalmic Administrators (ASOA). Ophthalmology. The authors concluded that at this time, it is not possible to draw reliable conclusions from the available data to determine whether cataract surgery is beneficial or harmful in people with ARMD. Linebarger EJ, Hardten DR, Shah GK, Lindstrom RL. And yes, most health insurance plans cover cataract surgery when your doctor considers it to be medically necessary. Overall, there was a 96.2 % reduction in EPT between controls and the optimized femtosecond pre-treatment group. UpToDate [online serial]. In 2020, the average cost for background: url('https://www.aetna.com/cpb/medical/data/assets/images/purplearrow.jpg') no-repeat; In the group without historical data (n = 39), 49 % of eyes were within 0.25 D, 69 % to 74 % of eyes were within 0.50 D, 87 % to 97 % of eyes were within 0.75 D, and 92 % to 97 % of eyes were within 1.00 D of targeted refractive IOL power prediction error. 2003;48(6):594-612. The RR of developing endophthalmitis was 2.94 (95 % CI: 1.07 to 8.12; p = 0.037) in eyes that did not receive IC antibiotics. In a Cochrane review, these investigators examined the safety and effectiveness of implantation with trifocal versus bifocal IOLs during cataract surgery among subjects with presbyopia. Clinical outcomes included visual acuity (VA), contrast sensitivity (CS), spectacle independence, post-operative refraction and surgical satisfaction. The difference in occurrence of endophthalmitis with/without topical antibiotics in each group (ICC: 0.016 % and 0.017 %; p = 0.958; ICM: 0.040 % and 0.058 %; p = 0.538) was not significant (p = 0.376). In a prospective, consecutive, single-surgeon, case-control study, Abell and colleagues (2013) compared effective phacoemulsification time after femtosecond laser pre-treatment with conventional phacoemulsification and the associated effect on visual outcomes and endothelial cell loss. Accuracy of intraocular lens power calculations using the Zeiss IOL master. Generally, it doesnt cover routine vision care or glasses. Ong et al (2014) stated that following cataract surgery and IOL implantation, loss of accommodation or post-operative presbyopia occurs and remains a challenge. In a retrospectivestudy, Zhang et al (2017) compared the outcomes of intra-operative wavefront aberrometry (e.g., optiwave refractive analysis (ORA)) versus optical biometry alone for intra-ocular lens (IOL) power calculation in eyes undergoing cataract surgery with mono-focal IOL implantation. A modern surgical approach involves placement of endo-capsular flexible polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) capsular tension ring that prevents iatrogenic loss of zonular support, minimizing vitreous loss and enables placement of in the bag IOL. There were 8 RCTs included in this study. Roberts TV, Lawless M, Bali SJ, et al. Guidance on accommodating intraocular lenses from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE, 2007) concluded: "Current evidence suggests that there are no major safety concerns associated with the implantation of accommodating lenses for cataract. All studies compared trifocal versus bifocal IOL implantation on VA outcomes measured on a LogMAR scale. Simultaneous pupil expansion and displacement for femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in patients with lens ectopia. ol.numberedList LI { Rastogi A, Khanam S, Goel Y, et al. Is Cataract Surgery Covered by Insurance? They used standard methodological procedures expected by the Cochrane Collaboration. Centers Near You Enter A New Address Procedures Custom LASIK Cataract Surgery Other Procedures } Most IOLs are made using special materials (chromophores) that absorb ultraviolet light. Aetna does not provide health care services and, therefore, cannot guarantee any results or outcomes. In addition, the CADTH assessment stated that long-term follow-up is needed to confirm patient outcomes, and ascertain if the benefits justify the additional cost. These researchers carried out a review of all patients undergoing cataract surgery with insertion of a CTR between 2010 and 2013 at their tertiary teaching ophthalmology department. It can develop months or years later and is due to a slow growth of epithelial cells remaining from the removed cataract. Refractive eye surgeries (eg, LASIK, laser eye surgery, etc.) In a prospective, randomized clinical trial, Rastogi et al (2018) evaluated the rotational stability of toric IOL when co-implanted with a CTR as compared to that of a toric IOL without a CTR. Based on the simulated complication rates of PCS and FLACS and assuming resultant VA outcome improvement of 5 % in uncomplicated cases of LCS, the cost-effectiveness (dollars spent per QALY) gained from LCS was not cost-effective at $92,862 Australian Dollars.
