Proper measurement of the eye is key to predicting lens strength.

Researchers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences will use a $1.6 million National Eye Institute grant to study age-related lens cell changes that can lead to cataracts.

Research also highlights the top factors that lead to care, which can be used to improve parents' uptake of sight-saving surgery for their children.

According to investigators, patients implanted with diffractive multifocal IOLs had notable declines in the corrected distance visual acuity, distance corrected near VA, and near area of focus with aging

Striving to improve outcomes is important because of the negative effect of astigmatism on patients’ vision postoperatively.

The rate of adverse events was low in this higher risk, difficult-to-manage population of special-needs children, noted Margaret Reynolds, MD.

The new procedure eliminates the need for scleral flaps by positioning the T-shaped IOL haptics in the scleral wall.

The company will begin commercialization of the IC-8 small aperture IOL, used for cataract patients, upon successful completion of the manufacturing facility inspections and receipt of an official approval order from the FDA, which the company estimates in Q2 2022.
