Station seven
(allowed 5 minutes)
aa
Six months after a successful cataract and in the bag intraocular lens implant.

a. Patient A complains of decreased visual acuity. Slit-lamp examination
    reveals contraction of the capsule with anterior movement of the implant.
    There is no posterior capsule. What is the likely refractive change? 

b. Patient B also complains of decreased visual acuity. Slit-lamp examination
    reveals tilting of the lens along the vertical axis ie 900 by about 300
    Assuming the implant is a 20.0D biconvex IOL and the patient was 
    emmetropic before the tilt occurred, what is the spectacle prescription?
