EVO ICLs, which evolved from early generation ICLs, offer a lens-based alternative for the correction/reduction of refractive error in people who currently use glasses and/or contact lenses for vision correction.

AffaMed Technologies is the joint venture between AffaMed Therapeutics and SIFI.

The study monitored real-world patient experiences for up to 12 months post cataract surgery with implantation of either AcrySof IQ Vivity or AcrySof IQ Vivity Toric presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens (PCIOL).

Surgeons can refine their workflow, partner with an optometrist.

Lens is stable in capsular bag, less sensitive to misalignment.

Surgeons seek best IOL match for patients after cataract surgery.

Eyes implanted with the lens demonstrated greater astigmatic tolerance.

Ophthalmology Times© caught up with Alice Epitropoulos at the 2023 ASCRS annual meeting in San Diego. Among her presentations at the event, she shared data regarding the visual and refractive outcomes of aberration-free monofocal hydrophobic toric IOLs.

Alcon presented details from a new study at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery’s annual meeting taking place in San Diego, California. The investigator-initiated study led by J. Morgan Micheletti, MD, demonstrated that Clareon and Eyhance monofocal IOLs provide similar range of vision, including distance and intermediate visual acuity.

George Waring IV, MD met with the onsite Ophthalmology Times© team to share data from his presentation on the first in-human results for the OmniVu IOL system.

Ophthalmology Times© met with Robert Lin, MD at the 2023 ASCRS meeting in San Diego, where he shared his experience using ICLs in his practice and the advancements that help make these devices the right choice for patients.

In a presentation at the American Society for Cataract and Refractive Surgery annual meeting in San Diego, Erisa Yotsukura, MD, PhD, offered details of a study examining an IOL that transmits violet light and a second option that does not, and they believe this can affect differences in the choroidal thickness after cataract surgery.

According to the company, outcomes show the potential for its modular, shape changing lens system.

The company’s CT Lucia 621P monofocal IOL enables surgeons to treat a wide range of cataract patients while supporting optimized visual outcomes.

The study compared 126 IOL injectors of 13 IOL injector systems regarding the manufacturers’ recommended preoperative incision sizes to evaluate the intraoperative incision enlargement and postoperative incision sizes.

A comparison of Hoya Vivinex and Alcon AcrySof lenses evaluated the long-term formation of posterior capsular opacification (PCO) and the rate of glistenings that developed.

Blake K Williamson MD, MPH, MS, discussed initial impressions of a female patient with high myopia and astigmatism who is an ideal candidate for phakic IOL implant.

Blake K Williamson MD, MPH, MS, reviews a case of a 39-year-old female with high myopia and astigmatism seeking surgical refractive correction.
