SAN DIEGO — At the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting, Mark A. Kontos, MD, discusses a study in which a combination of EDOF IOLs (Symfony, Johnson & Johnson Vision) and multifocal IOLs (Tecnis, Johnson & Johnson Vision) provided excellent visual outcomes and superior patient satisfaction compared with bilateral same lens implantation.

SAN DIEGO — At the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting, Frank W. Bowden III, MD, discusses a study in which patients with more than 2 D of astigmatism were treated with arcuate incisions with femtosecond laser and implanted with a Trulign toric IOL (Bausch + Lomb).

SAN DIEGO — At the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting, George O. Waring IV, MD, discusses a study regarding reading vision following a personalized vision approach in selecting an extended depth of focus IOL paired with a mid-add multifocal IOL.

SAN DIEGO — Patients who received an IC-8 IOL in one eye and an aspheric monofocal IOL in the other reported very good binocular uncorrected visual acuity for far, intermediate and near distances, according to a speaker here.

SAN DIEGO — At the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting, Robert K. Maloney, MD, discusses a three-center post-market study of the iDesign diagnostic system (Johnson & Johnson Vision) in refractive surgery and the uniform, accurate visual results achieved.

SAN DIEGO — At the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting, Noel A. Alpins, MD, explains how vector planning can help mitigate visual disturbances caused by residual astigmatism following refractive surgery.

SAN DIEGO — Early study results show the Juvene IOL provides a range of accommodative vision that is better than what is provided by extended depth of focus lenses, Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD, said at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery annual meeting.
