Routine cataract surgery
• Remove a cloudy lens • Replace it with a clear IOL • Fit the patient for corrective glasses postop

Healthcare Opportunities
• Aging population, over age 65 growing 2x rate of under 65 • Technology advances
- Toric and Presbyopia correcting IOL’s - Laser assisted cataract surgery - A broad, diverse, well capitalized pipeline of new products
• Consumerism - baby boomers want quality of life - expect life improvements from therapies
• Escalating costs a catalyst for patient shared responsibility (“Defined Contribution Plan”) • Significant unmet needs

Trends: earlier diagnosis & treatment before substantial vision loss
• In 2011, almost 800,000 surgeries will be performed on patients 55-64 years old • New surgical approaches available to improve UCVA for many patients • Established LASIK market validates that patients will pay for surgically improved vision

The Field Has Changed
• The medical milestone of cataract will be increasingly re-defined by lifestyle requirements
• Younger, active patient population will seek a surgical resolution
much earlier than previous generations • An individualized surgical plan must be designed and executed to
meet patient’s refractive goals • The market size is growing

Quality of Life Issues What is the patient’s goal?
• Improved quality of vision – covered
• Less dependence on glasses / contact lenses – Refractive goal (not

Refractive Cataract Reality
• Lasik predictability: 95% +/- 0.5 diopters
• What is the likelihood of being +/- 0.5 diopters with cataract surgery in your practice?

Refractive Cataract Reality
• 20-40% of patients undergoing cataract surgery will not be within 0.5 diopters of spherical outcome
• 2-4/10 patients will need an enhancement if they desire to be less dependent on their glasses/contact lenses after cataract surgery
