NUREMBERG, Germany — Most patients can gain independence from reading glasses when implanted with the Humanoptics 1CU accommodative IOL, according to one surgeon.

Magda Rau, MD, presented results from a study of the lens here at the German Ophthalmic Surgeons meeting.

Dr. Rau reported on implantation of the 1CU accommodative IOL in 30 eyes of 18 patients. At 6-month follow-up, 92 % of the patients reported being completely satisfied with their lenses, she said. Of the 8% of patients who said they were unsatisfied, Dr. Rau said, the reason given was that they expected better uncorrected visual acuity for near vision. She said no patients were dissatisfied because of glare or halos.
