Intraocular Lens

It is not necessary in every case that patients with irregular astigmatism should be denied the benefits of new technology IOLs, or NTIOLs.

Advances in toric IOL technology and the option to correct presbyopia and astigmatism with the same lens have significantly widened the pool of potential advanced-technology IOL users, offering the benefits of spectacle-free vision.

NEW YORK — In this Healio Video Perspective from OSN New York, Magda Michna, PhD, chief global clinical, medical and regulatory affairs officer at AcuFocus, discusses the IC-8 IOL.

NEW YORK — The future of cataract surgery in the U.S. may involve divergent pathways in order to accommodate increasingly common “add-ons” without devaluing the procedure as a whole, according to one speaker here.

Patients with keratoconus and relatively regular astigmatism can benefit from toric IOLs, provided that keratoconus-specific formulae are used for lens power calculation, according to a speaker.

Patients implanted with a wavefront-shaping presbyopia-correcting IOL reported high levels of satisfaction, according to a study presented at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting.

In this video from the ESCRS meeting, Mayank Nanavaty, MD, speaks about the advantages of the Tecnis Eyhance IOL (Johnson & Johnson Vision), a lens that offers the same visual quality of a monofocal but a broader depth of focus.

“There is no free lunch in optics” was the title of the ESCRS Binkhorst Medal Lecture, given by Gerd Auffarth, MD, PhD.

At the ESCRS meeting, Daniel Chang, MD, speaks about the results of a post-marketing study evaluating rotational stability, visual performance and surgeon satisfaction with the Tecnis toric II IOL (model ZCU, Johnson & Johnson Vision).

In this video from the ESCRS meeting, Pavel Stodulka, MD, PhD, speaks about enhanced monofocal IOLs, otherwise known as EDOF or IROF IOLs.
